The study examines the determinants of deposit money banks (DMBs) profitability in Nigeria between the periods of 2001-2017. The determinants (internal and external) are Nonperforming Loans (NPLs), Capital Adequacy (CA), Inflation Rate (INFLR), Interest Rate (INTR) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP)) while profitability was proxied with Return on Asset (ROA). The study made used of secondary data that which was sourced from the CBN Statistical Bulletin, CBN Bank Supervisory Annual Report and NDIC Annual Reports. Analysis employed descriptive statistics and correlation matrix. The Multiple Regression Model with SPSS 23 was used to determine if the independent factors and dependent variable have a significant relationship. The findings suggest that NPLs, CA and GDP have significant influence on ROA except NFLR and INTR that is insignificant. Finally, the study concluded that NPLs, CA and GDP are determinants of banks profitability in Nigeria.
