Abstract
The goal of this study is to find out what role corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays in the connection between
corporate governance (CG) and the success of Nigerian manufacturing companies. This study also looks at how corporate
governance (CG) affects the financial and non-financial success of Nigerian manufacturing businesses. We use agency
theory (AT) and shareholder theory (ST) to back up the connections we think exist. The study methodology is cross-
sectional, and samples were chosen at random. Quantitative analysis was done on the 280 acceptable questionnaire answers
that were collected. In order to look at the data, Smart-PLS 3.3.9 was used with partial least squares structural equation
modelling (PLS-ESM). The most important results show that CG not only affects CSR but is also strongly linked to both
financial and non-financial success. CSR also acts as a go-between for the link between CG and both financial and non-
financial success. The study's results show that the link between AT and ST makes sense for CSR to play a part in the model
that was tried. This theoretical addition is what the study gives us. There were some suggestions made that could help
managers do their jobs better. Because it is based on Nigeria, the study is limited in what it can say. In the future,
researchers may use a continuous method to learn more about the subject.
