Abstract

This study was designed to evaluate managing problem loans and work out the pinnacle of bank failures in Nigeria. One of the recommendations of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision was credit risk management which is the optimization of the bank’s risk-adjusted rate of return by maintaining credit risk exposure within an acceptable level. Descriptive survey research was used and data were collected via annual reports of the sampled bank within the period of 2011–2016. The population of the research included the Deposit Money Banks. Pearson Coefficient of Correlation was the statistical tool used to analyse the hypotheses and this was done with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The researcher concluded that there is no significant relationship between credit risk management and bank failure in Nigeria. However, there were traces of weak negative relationships which keen interest should be given to because of the sensitive nature of the banking sector.
