The model specification captured cash holdings (CSHR) as the dependent variable, board independence (BIND), board size (BDS) and chief executive officer ownership (CEOOWN) for corporate governance, were the independent variables. The study employed simple random sampling technique to collect secondary data. The panel estimation technique was adopted.
