Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Mismanagement in financial institutions, particularly banks, in Nigeria has been a prevalent issue that has raised concerns about the stability and reliability of the country's financial sector. This research project aims to investigate the root causes and implications of mismanagement in Nigerian banks, focusing on factors such as poor corporate governance, lack of regulatory oversight, unethical practices, and inadequate risk management. The study will utilize a mixed-methods approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods to gather comprehensive insights into the factors contributing to mismanagement in Nigerian banks. Quantitative data will be collected through surveys and financial data analysis to examine the relationship between mismanagement and financial performance indicators. Qualitative data will be obtained through interviews with key stakeholders in the banking sector to understand their perspectives on the challenges and solutions to address mismanagement issues. The research will also explore the impact of mismanagement on various stakeholders, including depositors, shareholders, employees, and the overall economy of Nigeria. By identifying the implications of mismanagement, this study aims to provide recommendations for policymakers, regulators, and bank management to improve governance mechanisms, enhance regulatory oversight, and promote ethical practices in the financial sector. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to the existing literature on mismanagement in financial institutions, particularly in the context of Nigerian banks. By shedding light on the root causes and implications of mismanagement, this study will provide valuable insights for stakeholders to address these issues and work towards a more stable and reliable financial sector in Nigeria.
