The result of the reliability analysis will confirm the measuring capacity of the items for each construct and also form the basis of hypotheses testing on the relationships between CG variables and bailed-out banks’ performance. CG characteristics in this paper were suitably adopted as they relate to the peculiar CG problems of the Nigerian banking sector. This paper thus, concluded that the items for every construct were all established reliable and valid for measuring the constructs of the model, fit for further analysis and hypotheses test.
