Secondary data was from the financial statements and the stock exchange Fact Book of quoted companies in Nigeria. Correlational research design was used in the study. Multiple regression technique was employed as a tool of analysis. The bank specific attributes are credit risk, liquidity risk, profitability, capital adequacy and size.
