ABSTRACT
The study examined the impact of executive board attributes (board size, board independence, board gender diversity and board meetings) on firm performance (return on assets). The data for the analysis were derived from die annual reports of thirteen (13) commercial banks quote on the Nigeria Exchange Group (NGX) for year 2012 to 2021. From the empirical investigation conducted in this study, it is concluded that board size had a positive insignificant effect on firm performance. The bigger the size of the board, the more likely the increase in firm performance. Board independence had a negative and insignificant impact on firm performance. The percentage of independent nonexecutive directors do not affect performance of the firm. Board gender diversity also has a negative insignificant impact on firm performance, meaning that hiring more females on the board would not necessarily foster performance. Board meetings impact on firm performance is negative and insignificant, indicating that fewer board meeting would have positive implication on performance, largely owing to cost savings associated with organising the meetings.
