Background of the Study
Corporate governance in the banking sector ensures the efficient management of resources, compliance with regulations, and protection of stakeholder interests. However, corruption undermines these governance principles, leading to financial mismanagement, regulatory violations, and erosion of public trust (Adeyemi & Bello, 2023).
In Kogi State, banking institutions face significant governance challenges attributed to corrupt practices such as fraud, misappropriation of funds, and regulatory non-compliance. These challenges hinder the growth and stability of the sector, affecting its contribution to economic development (Oluwaseun & Musa, 2024).
This study examines the impact of corruption on corporate governance in Nigerian banking institutions in Kogi State, providing insights into its effects and recommending strategies to mitigate it.

In Kogi State, incidents of fraud, insider trading, and collusion between regulators and bank officials have raised concerns about the effectiveness of corporate governance frameworks (Bello & Adeola, 2024). Despite regulatory efforts, the persistence of corruption highlights the need for a deeper understanding of its impact and effective countermeasures.
This study appraises the impact of corruption on corporate governance in banking institutions in Kogi State, identifying gaps and proposing practical solutions.
