ABSTRACT
The study investigates the relationship between bank specific variables and profitability of 12 quoted deposit money banks in Nigeria for the period 2013 to 2021. The panel least square (PLS) technique was employed in the analysis of the data. Based on the outcome of the analysis, it was found that capital adequacy ratio plays significant role in deposit money banks’ profitability in Nigeria; as it was found to have significant positive impact on profitability; bank liquidity (LQD) has a weak negative relationship with deposit money banks profitability; management efficiency (MEF) and bank size (FSZ) have significant negative impact on profitability; while asset quality (ASQ) has a weak positive relationship with bank performance. The study recommends that, management should make sure that they subject projects/investment and daily activities to critical analysis in terms of capital adequacy before making such investment. This will go a long to ensuring that capital adequacy continuously impact positively on banks’ overall performance.
