Abstract

Mergers and acquisitions have been proven to generate synergy gains and other organizational benefits, but in some situations, instead of a positive contribution, they have had negative effects. The aim of this study is, therefore, to examine the impact of mergers and acquisitions on the efficiency and performance of nine (9) deposit money banks in Nigeria. A data panel consisting of nine (9) deposit money banks which existed to conduct the study empirically before and after the consolidation exercise of the year (2002-2016). The panel fixed effect, panel random effect and the Pooled OLS were used for the two models that were used as replacements for the production of Deposit Money Banks. The two models, Return on Asset ( ROA) and Return on Equity ( ROE), were used as dependent variables to evaluate the efficacy and efficiency of the DMBs, with the independent variables and measures being net interest income (NII), profit after tax (PAT) and monetary policy rate (MPR). The results of the study showed that mergers and acquisitions have a substantial and positive impact on the quality and profitability of deposit money banks. This study therefore suggests that, in order to improve the operating level of Nigerian deposit money banks, a holistic and periodic analysis of the minimum capital requirements of deposit money banks should be carried out.
