ABSTRACT
The study was carried out to ascertain the impact of hank consolidation on commercial banks performance in Nigeria. The study was carried out Access Bonk pie. The specific objectives o.f the study were to ascertain the impact of consolidation on the return on asset of the bank in Nigeria, to determine the impact of consolidation on return on equity of the bank in Nigeria, to evaluate the impact of consolidation on the profit after tax of the bank in Nigeria and to compare the pre-consolidation period and the post consolidation period of the profit of the bank. Four econometric models specified for the study were estimated with data sourcedfront financial statement of Access bank pie.. The models ll'ere estimated using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) simple regression technique and Tnest. The results indicated that bank consolidation has no significant impact on the return on asset of banks in Nigeria, bank consolidation has no significant impact on the return on equity of banks in Nigeria, bank consolidation has no significant impact on profit after tax in Nigeria and that there is significant difference between the pre-consolidation period and the post consolidation period of the profit of the bank. It was recommended that Central Bank of Nigeria should develop a sustained operationalframeworkfor regular intervention into the banking system through the mechanism
of consolidation. The last two consolidation under Prof Soludo and Mal/am Sanusi as governors of the Central Bank of Nigeria help to stabilize the system and prevent banking crisis that were obviously imminent.
