Corporate Nigeria rose to the task of mitigating the effect of the covid-19 pandemic on the Nigerian economy as 30 of the top companies listed on the country’s exchange donated a sum of N32.4 billion as corporate social responsibility in 2020. This represents a significant surge compared to N12.1 billion recorded in the immediate reference period (2019). Most of these funds were donated to the CACOVID fund, a private sector-led coalition launched in March 2020 to assist the government in combating the Coronavirus disease in Nigeria. This is according to data collected and verified by Nairametrics Research from the audited reports of the companies released on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

It is a fact that CEOs are also the highest-paid staff of every company. In Nigeria, the CEOs of the major companies are remunerated handsomely for their efforts. However, just as much as these companies have ranks in terms of asset size and profitability, so also do their CEOs’ earnings have ranks.

The banking sector, especially commercial banks, is one of the most profitable sectors of the Nigerian Economy churning out profits of close to a trillion in 2020 alone.

Sitting at the helm of affairs is the Chief Executive/Managing Director, the highest-ranking executive in the organization saddled with the responsibility of making the best corporate decisions, oversight of the execution of the organisation’s corporate strategies and most importantly increasing the shareholders’ return. The buck basically stops on their table. Thus, these enormous responsibilities also come with a considerable executive compensation for their service making them ostensibly the highest-ranking staff of the bank.
