Sustainable Governance is a concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and their interactions with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis. Stakeholder engagement and reporting on non-financial issues, which allows the company to demonstrate that it understands the concerns of the society and explains how it is addressing them with its social and environmental policies is currently incoherent, haphazard and without regulation in Nigeria.

This paper further appraised the adequacy of the current laws, regulations, policies and practice for regulating stakeholder engagement by MNCs in Nigeria, a mandatory legal, more effective disclosure regime and regulations of stakeholder engagement is advocated.
