description The two obvious choices involving amount the bank need for investments as well as for dividends distribution have been an issue. In most regulations, dividend payment had been withheld in order to satisfy investment decision as if it is not essential. Therefore, this study investigated dividend policy’s influence on listed Nigerian deposit money banks’ market value. An ex post facto research design was utilised while a purposive sampling approach was applied to select 12 banks out of the total population of 14 banks that were listed consistently with available data within the period of examination. Detailed information as regards market value (Tobin Q and share price) as well as dividend policy (dividend payout, dividend per share, dividend yield) of Nigerian listed banks was obtained from their annual reports together with accounts that were made public between 2011 and 2022 as well as Nigerian Exchange Group Fact Book, 2022. Data collected were analysed using descriptive (mean, median, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (correlation and panel data estimation).
