Abstract

Corporate governance has attracted a good deal of public interest in recent years because of its apparent importance on the economic health of corporation and society in general. Corporate governance is aimed at promoting corporate fairness, transparency, accountability and probity in a firm that is being managed or controlled for better performance. The study relied on various literatures and sample of 10 listed banks out of 23 approved listed banks in Nigeria selected at random which was used to find out whether there is a level of compliances with Beijing Convention of 1995. The study shows that there is no significant level of compliance with the Beijing platform for action. The paper recommended that banks should avoid gender discrimination and comply with the platform for action of the Beijing convention of 1995 so as to enhance better performance.
