The micro prudential variables are Ratio of Retain Earnings, Ratio of Dividend Payout, Profitability, Commercial Banks Capital to Total Assets, Lending Rate and Bank Size while the macro prudential variables are monetary policy Rate, Inflation Rate, All Share Price Index to Gross Domestic Product, Real Gross Domestic Product, Exchange Rate and Broad Money Supply. The Ordinary Least Square Method of Co-integration test, Augmented Dickey Fuller Unit Root Test, Granger Causality test and Vector Error Correction Model was used to examine the nature of relationship that exist between the dependent and the independent variables in the regression models. The study found that all the micro prudential variables have positive effects on the stock prices of the commercial banks except lending rate. The model summary shows a strong relationship between the dependent and the independent variables with an R2 69.4% explained variation, 12.43051 overall significant and the probability of 0.000004, from the micro prudential variables while the macro prudential variables revealed an R2 of 52.0% explained variation, 8.788310 over significant and probability of 0.000004, this proved that the micro prudential variables have positive and significant relationship while macro prudential variables exhibits positive average and significant relationship with stock prices in Nigeria. The findings validate fundamentalist and macroeconomic view. Therefore, we recommend that management of the commercial banks should strengthen its management c
