One major challenge in contemporary knowledge driven organizations is how to create useful knowledge in the organization that will lead to the firm's innovation and to make it profitable continuously. For this reason, organizations are viewing Knowledge management as a critical success factor in today's dynamic environment. The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of knowledge management on performance of selected banks in Ilorin metropolis. A quantitative research design was adopted for the study.
