Background of the Study
Strategic risk management involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks to ensure organizational stability and continuity. For microfinance banks, managing risks such as loan defaults, regulatory changes, and economic volatility is critical to maintaining operational stability and customer trust (Okoro & Hassan, 2024).
In Nasarawa State, microfinance banks play a vital role in providing financial services to underserved populations. However, these institutions face challenges such as high credit risks and limited capital reserves. Strategic risk management offers a framework for mitigating these risks and ensuring stability (Adamu & Musa, 2023).
This study examines the effect of strategic risk management on business stability, focusing on practices adopted by microfinance banks in Nasarawa State.

High loan default rates, inadequate risk assessment, and external economic pressures contribute to these challenges. Despite the importance of strategic risk management, its adoption and impact on business stability remain underexplored in this context (Bello & Yakubu, 2025).
This study seeks to address this gap by analyzing risk management practices and their influence on the stability of microfinance banks.
