Abstract:

The study examines the effect of board attributes on firm performance of Nigerian quoted banks with international authorization. This study population was the entire quoted banks with international authorization and a sample of eight (8) banks was analyzed for a period spanning 2014-2018. From the results of the regression analysis, it was observed that all the explanatory variables had an insignificant effect on firm performance except for board meeting, which had a significant effect on firm performance. Our findings suggest that frequency of board meetings should be encouraged as this would create opportunity for more discuss on pertinent issues that affects the survival of the firm.
