“…The productivity of land and water in the Niger Delta will increase when greater understanding of sustainability induces an integrated framework and consistent stakeholder engagement in oil production. Several scholars addressed integrating sustainability into the core business strategy of organizations to drive innovation needed to achieve equitable value (Edgeman & Eskildsen, 2012;Micah & Umobong, 2013;Mirvis et al, 2010). An integrated sustainability effort that focuses on (a) waste control, (b) corporate legitimacy, (c) new technology (innovation), and (d) equitable value could result in improved agricultural productivity and achievement of sustainable development (Hart & Milstein, 2003).…”

Environmental degradation and socioeconomic dilemma continue to stigmatize oil production in the Niger Delta of Nigeria. Sustainability programs of oil companies often determine the improvement of living conditions in the region. This explanatory qualitative case study, guided by systems thinking theory and sustainable value framework, explored practitioners' perceptions of sustainability programs to identify its impact on business and the host communities. The research question was designed to address how sustainability efforts of a single oil company in the Niger Delta contributed to the business performance and the livelihood of the local people. Research data were gathered from a sample of 20 experienced sustainability practitioners of the oil company, partnering nonprofit organizations, and community leaders through face-to-face semistructured interviews. Data were segmented and categorized. The data analysis process revealed several themes regarding the challenges and shortfalls of sustainability programs in the region. The oil company's understanding of sustainability as programs and projects focused on preserving resources for future generations was not evident in practice. Findings from the study suggested the need for improved inclusiveness of Nigerian Institute of Management (Chartered) Certified Leadership Consultant American Academy of Project Management Master Project Manager (MPM)

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.
