Abstract
This study investigated the Effect of pre and post-merger and acquisition on the performance of Banks in Nigeria, using United Bank for Africa (UBA) as a study. The study had its objectives as To determine the effect of Equity share capital and debt capital on the Gross Earnings of UBA before mergers and acquisitions To determine the effect of Equity share capital and debt capital on the Gross Earnings of UBA after mergers and acquisition. This study used a multi regression model to test for hypotheses using SPSS. For an effective analysis of the topic, data were collected from secondary sources, journal and recent development in the industry. Throughout the study, I sought to establish the significant effect of equity share capital and debt capital on the gross earnings of UBA before merger and acquisition and the significant effect of equity share capital and debt capital on the gross earnings of UBA after merger and acquisition. It was recommended that If not for the year 2006, where debt capital was more than equity capital in the post-merger era, in all other years, the equity capital was more hence bank should sort for more profitable ventures to invest the enormous capital at their disposal for profitability, in order to make the merger and acquisition worthwhile.
