Abstract
. Board Structure (Board Size and Board Independence) of banks is an essential ingredient for ensuring
healthy financial intermediation as well as effective management of banks’ asset quality. However, the asset quality
of banks in Nigeria continues to deteriorate even amidst various efforts by regulatory authorities to sanitize the
Nigerian banking industry. It is on the strength of this backdrop that this study examined the impact of Board
structure (Board size and Independence) on the asset quality NPL and LDR) of listed deposit money banks in
Nigeria for a period of 10 years (2008-2017). Data for the study were quantitatively retrieved from the annual
reports and accounts of the fifteen (15) studied banks. Various robustness tests were carried out to ascertain; the
existence of multi-collinearity or otherwise, fitness of the model and to establish the appropriate regression analysis
that befits the study. Descriptive statistics, correlation and OLS Robust regression were used to describe and
analyze the data. It was found that board structure proxies showed no significant impact on Asset Quality. The study
therefore recommended among others that; board independent directors should be encouraged to take their
responsibilities seriously in order to help improve banks’ asset quality
