Abstract

The objective of this study is to ascertain the impact of ownership structure on the incidence of bad debt of money deposit banks in Nigeria. The research design adopted by this study is the quantitative approach. The population of interest for this study comprised the twenty-two deposit money banks listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) as at March (2016) for the period of sixteen years from 2000 to 2016. The study utilized only the secondary source of data. The variations in bad debt of the selected deposit money banks is not significantly influenced by ownership structure (OWS). It thus entails that just 35.8120% of the variations in bad debt is explained by OWS. This is indeed insignificant. Based on the findings, the study concludes that on the average, ownership structure has no significant positive effect on the incidence of bad debt of selected money deposit banks in Nigeria. It was also discovered in the study that ownership structure has no significant positive effect on the incidence of bad debt of selected money deposit banks in Nigeria. Hence, the recommendation to back up this finding is that the ownership structure and central controllers of the selected money deposit banks should be reviewed and readjusted if possible.
