CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The banking sector plays a lot of vital role in the economy, example, they provide information assistance to individuals and also act as a medium by which cash flow into the individuals hands and the economy, this makes them the back bone of every economy, the banking sector is always watched by the government to ensure its efficiency and to avoid bank failure which might variably or invariably affect the economy, adversely.
Banks failure in Nigeria cannot be said to be strange, as it is to topical issue in Nigeria context, for example the first set of indigenous banks that collapsed in Nigeria can be attributed to existence of too many banks which jeopardized the central banks efficiently and other regulatory bodies in controlling these established banks. The central bank and regulatory bodies being the watch dog to the operations of these banks are ineffective, as the success of these banks would however depend to a greater extent, on the quality of management and the extent to which fraudulent acts are eliminated or controlled.
In recent past, there existed rivals compared with the structure of no competition associated with few exist banks. The governments have introduced a lot of measures to ensure sanity in the banking industries. It is against this background that this carried out to vividly identify the causes of bank failure in Nigeria.
The changes in banking sector has been attributed to resultant changes of the economy.
The origin of banking system revolves around the early London Gold Smith who accepts deposits from people for safe custody. It is on the bases of foresight and prudence of these Gold Smith that paved way for modern banking developed out of the need to serve the colonial masters of those days, there has been modern attempts in developing banking for example between 1914 and 1959 efforts were made to established self owned banks by individuals in order to break the monopoly in banking.
Among the cause of failure in banking was the foreign domination in its establishments, deposit base and credit availability, the bank serves tailored to the need of the expatriates in indigenous bank boom and failures resulting from under capitalization.
The incessant increase of bank failure have been observed, this lead to loss of customers fund and confidence on the banking sector, the activated to ensure safe custody of customers funds, this was why the banking ordinance of 1952 was promulgated, in the ordinance it was stipulated that banks should maintain a minimum of 20% of annual profits in the reserve funds until the balance of the account is equal to the paid up capital of 12,500 for indigenous banks and 100,000 for expatriate banks qualities then for licensing, but the ordinance did not make provisions for assisting banks in distress. Also the central bank as the under of last resort makes no contribution as in financial assistance to distressed banks, this has contributed to inherent collapse of the banking sector. The 1959 ordinance was enacted to supplement deficiencies in the 1952 ordinance, the major achievement of this ordinance was the establishment of central bank of Nigeria (C.B.N), as the apex bank also responsible for licensing banks. The establishment of central bank of Nigeria also mark the existence Nigeria money and capital markets, another important follow – up was the promulgating of treasury bills ordinance which form the basis for the issuance of treasury bills. Subsequently, the Lagos stock exchange was established in 1961.
Furthermore, between 1964 and 1986 an intensive regulation of the banking system was witnessed, with also a lot of improvements in the banking industry following the in digitization policy.
Also within this period twenty six banking institutions, though they were not strong enough to competes federal government and acquired part ownership despite their inadequacies, these banks still played a lot of vital role in economics developments of Nigeria, example, they nurtured indigenous businesses and pioneered the expansion of banking services into rural areas.
The 1970 to 1986 could be regarded as dynamic and yet, highly regulated era of banking. Apart from setting qualifications for opening heerises the authorities specified the range of products and serviced that banks offered their clients and the prices for such products and services. They specified geographical expansion of banks activities as well as the sectional allocation of credit and availability of foreign exchange resources. These regulations intended to encourage orderly development of sector, but contrary to this, it introduced some distortions into the sector, thus reduced its effectiveness.
The general profile of banking system has been transformed in various dimension, since the introduction of the structural adjustment programme in 1986. These has been the liberalization of entry condition into banking sector which resulted in upsurge in the number of company with banking licenses, for example, before 1986 the number of licensed banks were less than fifty (50) but at the end of 1992, it has risen to one hundred and twenty (120) banks. There was a tremendous growth in the number of specialized banks, like peoples bank, community bank, urban development Banks etc. The over all result of these development is overheating competitions which required banks to adopt highly sophisticated methods of management in order to stay afloat.
The complex nature created by the Apex regulatory bodies to raise the standard of banking in Nigeria to conform the international standard has made the banking environment a little difficult. Among the measures are, introduction of prudential guide lines, uniform accounting standard, promulgation of banks and other financial institution decree 24 and 25 of 1991, establishment of the Nigeria deposit insurance corporation (NDIC) Equity participation of banks in the business of their customers.
These measures have significant impacts, helping banks to cope with realities of present, exposing the fragility and ailment of others. It will be pertinent to note that the prevent nature of banks failure in Nigeria could be traced to the deregulation of the financial system that resulted into poor management, fraud, boardroom squabbles bad debts etc.
