    The Impacts of Gearing on Profitability of Manufacturing Companies in Nigeria
    (Journal of Management and Enterprise Development, 2004) Sanni, Micheal Rotimi
    The objective of the study is to examine the impacts of gearing on the profitability of manufacturing companies in Nigeria The researcher employed descriptive statistics to test the profitability of the companies used at case study when geared and un-geared The study reveals the reason for the use of long-term debts (debentures) to include the need to increase the amount of resources available to a company for growth and expansion, the desire to reduce the Weighted Average Cost Of Capital (WACC thereby increasing profitability and capital appreciation, the adoption of agency theory and the need for dynamism among others. Most importantly, there is empirical evidence that the profitability of the three companies used as the case study-Guinness Nigeria Pic The West African Portland Cement Plc and CFAO Nigeria Plc-was better when long- term debts were not used, though the effects vary from one company to another. The shady concludes that gearing has always been a controversial topic both among academics and financial experts and as such projects should be properly evaluated and appropriate source(s) of finance used in order to maximize shareholders' wealth

    (International Journal of Accounting, 2005) Sanni, Micheal Rotimi
    To what extent can one rely on forecasts in prospectuses issued by Nigerian companies? What legal remedies are available to investors/shareholders when directors fail to achieve ich forecasts? In answering these and other similar questions, the paper compared forecasts in the prospectuses of selected Nigerian companies with actual results. The selected companies cover almost all spheres of the Nigerian economy bunking manufacturing, the conglomerates and oil and gas sectors-for different periods. Using paired sample t-tests on key variables like turnover, earning per share and dividend per hart, it was discovered that a greater percentage of the sampled companies failed to meet their forecasts. Since not all long-term strategies are profitable in the short-run potential estors and existing shareholders should not base their investment decisions on profit forecasts alone but should consider other socio-economic and political factors

    Post Merger Profitability of Oil Companies in Nigeria: A Case Study of Total Plc and Oando Nigeria Plc
    (Journal of Management an International Journal Devoted to the Study of Management and Public Administration (Journal of the Administrative Staff College Of Nigeria), 2008) Sanni, Micheal Rotimi
    Do all Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) lead to increase in profitability? In finding answers to this and other similar questions, the researchers considered two recent mergers in the oil industry, being the backbone of the Nigerian economy. The mergers are: Total Nigeria Plc/ Elf Nigeria Limited in September 2001 and Unipetrol Nigeria Plc/Agip Nigeria Plc (becoming Oando Nigeria Ple in August, 2001). Using paired sample t-test statistic on Earnings Per Share (EPS) before and after the mergers, it was found that the mean EPS of Total Nigeria Plc increased from 552.25K to 853.50K after the merger. That of Oando Nigeria Plc however decreased from 268.37K to 238,50K. The mean difference of 29.87K (loss) in Oando Nigeria Plc, which is significant at 0.57, is not significant at 5 per cent. The finding negates some earlier research works on the topic while it confirms others.
