The objectives, research questions, hypotheses, review of relevant literature and applicable theories are fully discussed.

Relevant data were extracted from the published financial reports, CBN bulletin, and National bureau of statistics corporate website. The Ex-post facto research method is adopted for the purpose of achieving the objectives of the study. Panel data is applied to the study for the purpose of capturing the space and time dimensions.

The study concludes that there is a significant relationship between liquidity, foreign exchange fluctuation and performance.
The study recommended that; Government should ensure that capital expenditure and recurrent expenditure are properly managed in a manner that it will raise the nation’s production capacity; Government should direct its expenditure towards the productive sectors like manufacturing sector as it would reduce the cost of doing business as well as raise the standard living of poor ones in the country; There is need for efficient management of exchange, inflation and liqudity rates in such a way to stimulate the economy to grow; That foreign exchange rate could be maintained at a low rate if there is a consistent growth in corporate earnings.
