Abstract

Financial performance in an organization demonstrates the proficient use of resources and the capacity to generate
profit. This can be done through banks maintaining high return on capital and quality assets for better performance. In
Nigeria, in spite of the fact that banks are highly regulated and that return on equity requirements have been in place
since 1988, many banks have failed due to insufficiency of capital and mismanagement of funds. It is thus imperative to
ascertain the effect of return on equity in the financial performance of quoted deposit money banks (DMBs) in Nigeria
even when cognizance is taken of both critical microeconomic factors and macroeconomic variables.
This study adopted an ex-post facto research design. The target population for this research comprised 14 quoted deposit
money banks in Nigeria which were in operation within the period of ten years that ranged from 2009 and 2018 from
which secondary data was collected. The study employed ordinary least square regression analysis.
The findings of this research revealed the result showed that capital adequacy without control variables has a positive
effect on financial performance using return on equity indicating that an additional increase in capital adequacy would
cause return on equity to also increase by 0.165. However, it is significant since p< 0> % of variations in return on equity were caused by differences in the individual specific effects while the remaining 96.1
% are variables not in the model. The f statistics value of 5.669 is highly significant at the 5% significance level which
showed that the overall model is statistically significant.
The study concluded that capital adequacy is a key factor affecting the financial performance using return on equity of
the Nigeria deposit money banks and is essential in measuring financial performance of financial institutions. The study,
therefore, recommended that the central bank of Nigeria should effectively regulate the capital and the resources owned
by the deposit money banks (DMBs) in Nigeria.
