Abstract
This study examines the relationship between certain governance variables and bank
liquidity. The primary source of data was used and data were obtained through the
use of questionnaire. Altogether, a total of one hundred (100) questionnaires were
administered across the randomly selected banks out of which 70 were duly
completed and returned. Multiple regression models were used in investigating the
relationship between the variables of the study. The significance testing of the
regression coefficients was carried out using the t- test at 5% level. The study reveals
that, out of the four corporate governance variables investigated on bank liquidity,
audit committee independence and auditors’ independence are the two variables
which explain the variability in bank liquidity. We recommend that owners of banks
pay close attention to corporate governance variables that improve liquidity.
