Using data of corporate social responsibility expenditure as a proxy for CSR and the trio of return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and bank earnings per share (EPS) as a proxy for CFP, regression analysis was conducted. ROA, ROE, and EPS data were collected from the banks’ financial statements for the period 2012 – 2016. Findings. In particular, our analysis and findings suggest that CSR expenditure had no significant effect on all the three proxies of CFP of quoted banks in Nigeria. It supports the arguments in the literature that financial performance alone does not justify expenditure on CSR activities by the quoted Nigerian banks Practical implications.

Data relates to the first and second elements of financial deepening (FDI and FD2), Liquidity ratio (LQR), Loan-to-deposit ratio (LDR), and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) covering a period from 1988 to 2017. The obtained data were analysed using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method facilitated with E-views 8 Econometric Software. The result showed that the first and second elements of financial deepening (FDI1 and FD2), and Liquidity ratio (LQR) all have a positive impact on the nation’s economic growth whereas Loan-to-deposit ratio (LDR) does not.
