The findings of the study revealed that corporate governance is significant to IFIs’ performance in Nigeria. This study contributes to the existing literature on corporate governance practices and IFIs’ performance in Nigeria. Finally, the study’s implications for theory and practice, limitations, conclusion as well as the direction for future research are provided and discussed.
