ABSTRACT
This study explores the effect of mergers and acquisitions on the growth of deposit money banks in Nigeria. Descriptive ex-post facto research design is adopted for the study and gathered through the use of secondary data from the study area. The study adopts one bank for the purpose of proximity, convenience and non-probability. The adopted bank is UBA based on its multi-functional characteristic as a deposit money bank in Nigeria for the period 2000-2016. The study adopts ANO VA (analysis of variance) and multiple regression as the statistical tool for analyzing data. The key findings of the study show that increase in capital base has a significant relationship with the shareholders' wealth, in line with the first specific objective which is to determine the relationship between increase in merged banks capital base and shareholders' wealth. Further findings reveal that profit before tax and revenue also has a significant relationship with the shareholders' wealth. That is in line with the second and third objectives of the study. Based on the findings of this study from the test of three hypotheses earlier formulated, it is recommended that Bank management should give proper attention to scope and scale of economies; eliminate redundancy, duplication, corrupt and inefficient staff
