Abstract
Using a sample of banks quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange during the 2006-2013 periods, the paper investigates the role of prestige and social networks acquired through directors’ affiliation with World Renowned Business and Ivy League schools in the selection of outside directors, and the subsequent effect on the firm value. The study finds that the appointments of gray directors with these characteristics have no effect on firm value and professional networks made of alumni from renowned Business and Ivy League Schools have significant relationship with the number of positions held by individual director
