The study adopted correlational design and documented annual report of the banks concerned for the relevant period (2003 – 2004 pre and 2022 – 2023 post merger) were collected and analyzed using parameters such as ratio, student-t-test analysis. The result of the analysis reveals that merger and acquisition significantly influenced banking performance in Nigeria. The study recommends that to generate more profits the banks need a good regulatory environment that would enable them expand their scope of business but strictly within the financial service industry. With a good regulation and supervision, corporate governance will be enhanced, unnecessary cost and expenses will be cut down and profit will increase.
