Abstract

This study examined the relationship between dividend policy and the performance of firms in Nigeria. It employed the ex post facto research design and Ordinary least squares regression technique for analysis. The secondary data used for the period were obtained from the published financial statements of nine Nigerian firms used as case study for the period 2010-2018. The results of the study suggest that there is negative and non-significant relationship between dividends per share on profit after tax of the selected firms, a positive and non-significant relationship between dividends per share and total sales of the selected firms, and a positive and non-significant relationship between dividends per share and total asset of the selected firms. Hence, this study supports the relevant theories of dividend policy.
