Shareholder value diminution through long-term debts: Evidence from the Nigerian oil industry
Authors: Ikwuo Ama Kalu , Nwite Isaiah Michael , Nworie Gilbert Ogechukwu , Nworie Fidelia Nkechi
Published: February 2025

Purpose: Failure to maintain an optimal balance between the benefits of long-term debts and the risks associated with financial distress often results in the erosion of shareholder value. In view of the above problem, this study examined whether long-term debts affect shareholder value diminution among listed oil and gas firms in Nigeria.
Research Methodology: The ex-post facto research design was deployed on a sample of five firms purposively selected from a population of nine listed oil and gas firms in Nigeria. Secondary data were sourced from the firms’ annual reports between 2014-2023. The hypotheses were tested using panel-estimated generalised least squares.
Results: An increase in long-term debt to asset ratio significantly contributes to shareholder value diminution (? = -42.56871; p-value of 0.0003); an increase in long-term debt to equity ratio significantly contributes to shareholder value diminution (? = -5.441092; p-value of 0.0005).
Limitations: The study sampled only five out of nine listed Nigerian oil and gas firms and relies solely on net assets per share to measure shareholder value, which may not fully capture the industry's broader financial dynamics.
Contribution:  In conclusion, the over-reliance on long-term debt financing contributes to heightened financial vulnerability as well as sabotages the aim of maximising shareholders wealth. We recommend that the management of companies in the Nigerian oil and gas industry implement stricter controls on their long-term debt-to-asset ratios by setting a threshold beyond which debt levels should not increase in order to avoid significant shareholder value erosion.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) impacts millions of individuals worldwide and necessitates meticulous management to prevent severe long-term complications, such as cardiovascular and renal diseases, stroke, and vision impairment. People with T1DM are very different from one another. They show signs of the disease at different stages and levels of severity, and their genetic backgrounds and disease causes are also very different. This 6-month study focused on patients with T1DM at the paediatrics department of SVS Medical College and Hospital in Mahbubnagar. We collected and evaluated data from one hundred patients. This study underscores the significant impact on individuals aged 11-15 years, and our research findings reveal a higher prevalence of T1DM in males. We also conclude that obesity presents the highest risk of hyperglycaemia. Currently, the standard treatment for T1DM involves exogenous insulin substitution therapy; however, this method does not consistently provide optimal blood glucose control for many individuals. In addition to the appropriate insulin regimen, we also advocate for lifestyle management, which seeks to implement “the right therapy at the right time, for the right patient.” As previously stated, innovative strategies are essential for T1DM prevention and management. We also recommend that physical activities provide multiple benefits for individuals with T1DM. Regular physical activity improves overall well-being, aids in obesity prevention, and reduces cardiovascular risk in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Authors: Insuwanno Patthawee
Published: February 2025

Given the rise of cannabis commercialization, understanding its impact on tourists’ revisit intentions is crucial. This study, grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior and incorporating variables like perceived attractiveness and risk, focuses on Phuket, Thailand. Analyzing data from 385 respondents using R (Lavaan) and Structural Equation Modeling, the results indicate that perceived attractiveness (β = 0.225) and subjective norms (β = −0.191) significantly influence revisit intentions. These findings provide insights for destination managers, emphasizing the need to address perceptions and implement effective marketing strategies to leverage cannabis tourism sustainably. To enhance cannabis tourism appeal, managers should offer educational tours about cultivation, wellness retreats with cannabis-infused treatments, and events celebrating cannabis culture. Furthermore, it is vital to communicate functional values, such as health benefits, through various channels, including traditional media like television and online platforms such as YouTube, to accurately inform and educate tourists about the benefits and proper usage of cannabis products.
