listed in the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the period 2009-2018 using Expo facto
research design. The result suggests that liquidity has a positive effect on
both Turnover and Profit after Tax. This finding suggests that the more often a
company puts into consideration liquidity management practices, the more viable
and sustainable the business is. The findings ofthis study could be useful to
potential investors, managers, firms etc. Since good liquidity management will
