Background of the Study
Risk management is a crucial aspect of banking operations, ensuring financial stability, regulatory compliance, and business continuity. Effective risk management strategies help banks mitigate credit risk, operational risk, market risk, and cybersecurity threats (Adebayo & Oke, 2024). Zenith Bank Plc, one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions, has implemented various risk management frameworks, including compliance programs, fraud detection systems, and investment risk assessments.
In Benue State, where economic activities largely depend on agriculture and small businesses, financial institutions face unique risks, including loan defaults and fluctuations in economic conditions. The effectiveness of Zenith Bank’s risk management strategies in mitigating these risks determines its financial sustainability and customer trust. This study evaluates the risk management practices in Zenith Bank Plc, Benue State, to assess their impact on the bank’s overall efficiency and stability.

Zenith Bank Plc, like other financial institutions, faces challenges such as regulatory changes, credit risk exposure, and technological vulnerabilities (CBN, 2024). The effectiveness of its risk management framework in Benue State remains unclear, necessitating a comprehensive evaluation to determine areas for improvement.
