ABSTRACT
This study analyzed the impact of corporate
diversification and financial structure on the performance of Commercial Banks
in Nigeria. A sample of ten (10)
Commercial Banks ranking
most based on their asset base
was selected through judgmental sampling technique and the relevant secondary data
was obtained from the annual reports of the selected Commercial Banks in
Nigeria over a twenty-year period (2001-2020). The data obtained were analyzed
using panel data analysis on Eviews 9. The findings
of this study show that service diversification, geographical diversification
and financial structure positively affect the performance of Commercial Banks
in Nigeria. This study
recommends that bank management should ensure that the modifications arising
from environmental forces and the need to remain relevant to their stakeholders do not pressurize them into expanding their financial services into areas
where it faces a high degree of competition or lacks prior lending experience
as this can lead to a fall in bank returns.
