THE NEXUS BETWEEN CONTRIBUTORY PENSION FUNDS AND DEPOSIT MONEY BANKS’ PROFITABILITY IN NIGERIA
The issue of pension fund management and how
pensioners are being owed substantial amounts at their
retirement year is still a rampaging case in Nigeria. Also, many
retirees do not understand the dynamics of pension fund
management. Hence, the main objective of this study was to
investigate how the contributory pension fund has impacted
Nigerian bank’s profitability. A model was adopted and modified
with variables relevant to the course of study like profit after tax
(PAT), Pension Funds (PEN) and inflation, and secondary data
for each variable was extracted from the banks’ financial
statement, PENCOM financial statements, and the CBN
statistical bulletin. The data was from period 2015Q1 till
2022Q4 and was analyzed by using the multiple regression
analysis. The study found out that both pension funds and
investment were positively significant. The study thus
recommended that all pension firms must be monitored
frequently so as to reduce the incidence of fraud.
