Abstract

The study evaluated the relationship between risk governance and the value of Nigerian listed deposit money banks from 2018 to 2023. Board risk committee size, board risk committee activism, chief risk officer presence, and chief risk officer independence are examples of risk governance measures. Tobin's Q was employed as a performance variable. Eight banks were selected as the study sample using purposeful sampling while expo facto research design was employed. A few selected banks' audited annual reports and accounts provided the secondary data for the study. To determine the link between the dependent and independent variables, the study used both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of the regression model demonstrated that risk governance significantly and favourably affected the value of the sampled Nigerian banks. Board risk committee size (t-val. = 2.0949, p<0.05) and board activism (t-val. = 3.7180, p<0.05) had a significant effect on the sampled banks' value. Thus, the study recommended that the management of Nigeria's deposit money banks should always guarantee an efficient risk committee and activism in line with best practices globally in order to increase shareholders' wealth and the value of banks.
