Abstract

The effect of board diversity, like, gender, ethnicity, etc on financial performance have been widely studied. However, very few research have been carried out in the area of the the effect of religion diversity on financial performance. This study examines the effect of board religion diversity on financial performance of quoted deposit money banks in Nigeria. The population comprises of all the deposit money banks in Nigeria while thirteen (13) quoted deposit money banks were sampled based on their being listed on the Nigerian Exchange Limited all through the study period of 2010 to 2021. The data were analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk Normality, Pearson correlation, Heteroskedasticity Breusch-Pagan Test and Breusch-Pagan Lagrangian Multiplier Test while hypotheses were tested using Pooled Ordinary Least Square regression model. The results show that religion diversity (RD) has a significant positive effect on financial performance (proxied by return on assets (ROA)) of quoted deposit money banks in Nigeria for the period under review. The study recommends that the regulators – Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and boards of deposit money banks in Nigeria should encourage different religious practices on the boards of banks to enhance their financial performance in Nigeria.
