摘要：This study sets out to find out whether a positive correlation exists between corporate governance and bank performance using some corporate governance indicators – board composition and ownership structure.

The data collected were analysed by use of the co rrelation coefficient and it was found that there is a negative correlation between corporate governance indicators used in this study and performance of banks in Nigeria. Based on these findings, it was recommended that, since board composition has no positive correlation with firm performance, board size should be limited in order to improve firm performance through cost reduction
