Project Body:

CHAPTER ONE

 1.1. INTRODUCTION

 The aim of every government is to provide its people with basic services, leadership and protect the entire people’s interest within its power, for a government to do this, it must have a sound and adequate financial planning to make it possible to cater for the people’s need To a large extent, any government which comes into power has to depend on banks and other financial institution for keeping of some of its development project also, the government agencies and general pubic depends largely on loan from the banks to carry out their day to day business affairs. Generally, the main aim of every bank is to minimize the last to running affairs of the bank and at the same time maximizes owner’s profit.  Some bank like the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and development banks, the farmers have the main aim of correcting the economy while the later one established purposely to develop some sector of the economy.

Therefore, this research is based on the role played by commercial banks to the Nigeria economy with particular interest.

 

1.2. STATEMENT OF GENERAL PROBLEM

 The present improvement in the banking industry may not wholly attribute to the rapid increase in the number of banks but is the rapid growth of our economy that brought about by the structural adjustment programme (SAP).

Though banking industry plays an important role in the economy of any nation and there is no doubt, it is an indispensable role to the Nigeria economy. With these, this not to say that they do not have lapses.   Among the factors that leads to the inefficiency in the banking industry are: -

FINANCIAL DISTRESS

Financial distress in the Nigeria financial system is a problem that has of recent, assume an intractable dimension.

INADEQUATE MANAGEMENT

The singular factor leaves a high stone of management which usually determine by academic/professional qualification, relevant experience, technical know how, business reflect, ability to formulate and implement good policies, leadership qualities and styles etc.  Because of the relative attractiveness of banking especially with respect to the pay and prospect, people from different professions find themselves in the mid system of banking operations without proper grooming the fact that banking is a district profession of its own with intricacies and idiosyncrasies.

 INADEQUATE CAPITAL BASES

 There is a saying that says a lifeguard in a swimming pool must himself be a good swimmer, for a bank to enjoy confidence of depositors, it must have strong capital base as evidence of strength.  It is important that bank operates profitably for the share holders have to increase through accreting to statutory and general in services.

RISK ASSET PORT FOLIO

 This is no doubt a reflection of poor management most banks do not have clear investment or credit policy and there is absolutely no control on credit.  In most cases, it is the managing director or chairman or the promoters of these banks who have lending power and they lend mainly to their own business and to friends without business or without following the due assessments or control.

 

 BOARD ROOM CRISIS

 It is unfortunate that a business which begins in a spirit of annuity and cordially at times turns into loss of face and tension among the sponsor.  Problems have in the past arisen on such topic as who plays what roles and people instability to concede to another, people opinion have cause dissentients in the board room even physical France as autocracy on the part of those who see themselves as the promoters or major shareholders can often cause board room crisis. The monetary authorities had to be carried into the management of some banks when things get out of hand until the crisis is over.  Board members engage in protected legal battles and by the end of the day who loses?

1.3. STATEMENT OF THE GENERAL PROBLEM

The development of Nigeria is generally belied to be slow. This may be as a result on the indifferent nature of the banking sector to assist the government in the development of the nation. The indifference of the banking sector in the development of the country has prompted this research work.

1.6. SCOPE OF THE STUDY

 The research specifically covers comprehensively the analysis of the major role played by the banking industry to the Nigeria economy. The primary responsibilities of all types of banks that we have in the industry have been touched in the literature review.

Generally, the author attempted to examine their role of commercial bank to the economy, though there are several financial and banking industries nation wide, I will limit my research to first bank of Nigeria Plc.  To represent the banking industry.  I particularly consider the sources of fund to the bank and how these fund are fully utilized to make its own contributions to our national development and at the same time, maximize owner’s profit.
