The research work used the Granger Causality techniques to test the effect between the independent variables Nonperforming loans, Capital Adequacy Ratio and Liquidity Ratio on the dependent variable Unemployment Rate while VAR was used to test the short run relationship. The study found that bank failure granger causes unemployment in Nigeria within the period of the study. The study therefore advocates that banks must ensure they maintain reasonable and acceptable shareholders fund unimpaired by losses at all times and avoid capital erosion. Every loan granted by each of the banks has to be adequately collateralized and the incidence of insider related credits must be deemphasized to avoid loan losses or huge non performing loans. The regulatory authorities on the other hand should engage themselves in capacity building to enable them perform their supervisory and regulatory functions as effectively as possible. The CBN must continue to emphasize and enforce the prudential regulation.
