UCL Laws Researcher awarded British Council research funding

Bolanle, a Post-Doctoral Associate, submitted a research proposal entitled: ‘Corporate Rescue Practices in Nigeria: An empirical study of governmental and non-governmental rescue methods’. The research will conduct a multi-method empirical study of current practices in the rescue of non-financial corporations in Nigeria, involving interviews with various stakeholders, as well as case studies. The study will examine the government’s novel approach to rescue, as well as that developed by the practitioners over the past 3 decades of the existing insolvency laws.

Bolanle said: “I am delighted to have received the support of the British Council to undertake this research,

“The project seeks to support ongoing efforts to reform the Nigerian Insolvency Law by providing keen insight based on reliable data and will result in assisting Nigeria to establish a suitable insolvency framework to support Nigeria’s corporate world.”
