Abstract: This work was intended to investigate empirically the extent of Nigerian banks’ compliance with Basel sound liquidity management practices (February, 2000). The data from 21 Nigerian banks confirm a significant difference between actual practices and standard liquidity management practices at the 5% level of significance. There is also a significantly positive relationship between compliance level and banks’ liquidity profile. Overall,capacity-building in the Nigerian banking system is still necessary. Given monetary policy constraints and the need for market transparency, liquidity and solvency problems interact. Bankers must regularly appraise and reappraise their soundness by optimally managing the liquid assets profile given policy constraints.
