Background of the Study
Operational risk management in supply chain management refers to the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks that can disrupt the flow of goods, services, and information within a supply chain. For financial institutions like First Bank Nigeria Plc, managing supply chain risks is crucial for ensuring the smooth operation of both internal and external business processes. First Bank has a vast network of branches and operations in Benue State, where it relies on effective risk management strategies to safeguard against operational disruptions such as fraud, regulatory changes, cyber threats, and supply chain interruptions.
Operational risks in banking include the risks associated with procurement, logistics, and vendor management, which can directly affect the bank’s ability to maintain continuous services. First Bank has implemented several risk management strategies, including third-party vendor assessments, fraud prevention systems, and contingency planning. However, the dynamic nature of risks, coupled with the rapidly changing economic landscape in Nigeria, poses significant challenges for the bank in terms of ensuring the security and efficiency of its supply chain operations.
This study will assess the operational risk management strategies employed by First Bank Nigeria Plc in Benue State and evaluate their effectiveness in minimizing disruptions and enhancing supply chain resilience.

This research will explore the risk management practices in place, evaluate their effectiveness, and provide recommendations for improving the bank’s approach to mitigating supply chain risks.
