Firm sustainability has gained popularity recently because businesses have seen the need for the creation of long-term sustainable values. Good corporate governance practices have been the pathway for companies in achieving social sustainability, environmental sustainability, and financial sustainability (Proshare, 2021a). Corporate governance and firm sustainability have been widely studied but in separate ways such as corporate governance and financial sustainability, corporate governance and environmental sustainability as well as corporate governance and social sustainability (Abolo, 2020). This study, therefore, aggregated these three components into their main fold, i.e., firm sustainability, and reviews previous studies to conclude what extant literature has on corporate governance practices and firm sustainability in Nigeria. The review covered a period from 2013 to 2022 and was done using the qualitative analysis method. The finding showed that corporate governance has a significant effect on environmental sustainability, but mixed effects (significant and not significant) on social sustainability and financial sustainability. The other category shows that it has a significant effect on the sustainability of Nigerian firms. The researchers conclude that good corporate governance practices improve firm sustainability in Nigeria. The findings enriched accounting literature and gave the situation of corporate governance and firm sustainability in Nigeria at a glance that has not been established.
