Abstract

The study examined the effect of merger and acquisition strategy on performance of selected Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. Purposive sampling technique was adopted as sampling procedure for selecting three Deposit Money Banks (UBA, Access Bank and FCMB) that successfully implemented Merger and Acquisition Strategy in the Financial Services Sector of the Nigeria economy. Secondary Data Spanning a period of 20 years (1996-2015) were collected from the published annual financials of the banks. Descriptive statistics involving the test of differences in two means (pre and post mergers periods) and multivariate Analysis of variance (MANOVA) were employed in analysis of the data. Results shows that merger and acquisition strategy impacted positively on performance of the selected Deposit money Banks in Nigeria with improved performance in gross earnings (pre total value 6.05, post total value , 405.29); profit after tax (PAT) values (Pre-total values 2.1 post total values 65.91). Earnings Per Share (E.P.S) values (pre-total values 23.03, Post-total values, 141.12). More so the calculated ANOVA values (F-statistic) for test of hypothesis were 32.83, 17.31 and 29.14 as against 3.60 critical value meaning post-merger performance were better than the pre-merger period. It was concluded that merger and acquisition strategy is good for Nigerian Banks. It is recommended that Banks with poor corporate governance issues and weak Capital structure should embrace mergers and acquisition and that the CBN should strengthen it monitoring and oversight functions to enhance operational efficiency of Deposit money Banks in Nigeria.
