ABSTRACT
This study investigates how merging and acquiring other banks (corporate restructuring) affects Nigerian commercial banks' performance. Specifically, it looks at how well banks do financially (profitability) after merging or being acquired. The research examines two banks and uses data from various sources (annual reports, journals,internet etc.). The result was subsequently analyzed using correlation and regression with the aid of Econometrics view (version 10) to compare their financial health before and after the merger/acquisition. It finds that mergers and acquisitions can improve bank stability and profitability. Additionally, the study reveals that a bank's capital (shareholders' funds) significantly impacts its profits, and that restructuring strengthens a bank's capital base. Finally, the research suggests that banks merge to achieve synergy gains (combined benefits that exceed those of individual banks).
