INTRODUCTION
THE BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Over the last couple of decades the Nigeria financial system has grown remarkable. From the almost crude form it was characterized with in pre-colonial and colonial days. It has become so sophisticated that economic experts today can proudly thump their chests. With due regard to ownership structure of the institution, the regulatory framework, the instrument employed and number of established institutions, Nigeria can be said to posses the most sophisticated financial system in African.
Within the Nigerian financial system itself, the banking institutions have been most remarkable in growth. This is just as well in any case considering the critical position which they occupy in a complex financial position which they occupy in a complex financial system which supplies the money and credit needs of the economy.
The world bank nor banker is nether used nor defined in the central of Nigeria (CBN) Decree No 24 of 1991 nor bank and other financial institutions Decree (BOFIO)No 25 of 1991 but section 2 of Bills of Exchange Act 1881 provides that “bankers include a body of persons whether incorporated or not who carry out the business of banking section 2 (1) of the Evidence Act defines banks banker to means “any person or persons, partinership or company carrying on the business of bankers. Finally, the Banking Act of 1969, provides that bank means any perons who carries out the business of banking and include a commercial bank and an acceptance house.
The role of banks is thus an important one in the process of economic development in the sense that they mobilize funds from the surplus spending and for of the economy. In this way the increase the quantum of National savings and investment. Secondly though an appropriate investment multiplier, the volume of good and service produced increase a result of investment projects financed by bank funds. All of which lead to a successful promotion of an efficient system of payment, creating banking habits, development the society and providing employment opportunities.
In view of these highlights, it becomes easily comprehensible why the failure of a bank of a bank has far reaching consequences. The ability of banks to operate successfully rests upon how well the are able to obtain the confidence of the public if that confidence is missing, the gap will be too great for the banks to fill. The effects of banks failure on the economic development of Nigeria can be expressed in an nut-shell to be the following.
- Lack of effective and efficient financial intimidation
- Loss of public confidence in the system further depression of the economy additional burden on the regulatory authorities Escalation of social vices.
For the sake of the citizenry and in the interest of economic development, there is an expedient need to devise a host of remedying situation.
The fact that a bank fails today is not to say that incidence is systemic. There must be a number of wap out of any sad predicament.
The only crack is how well these remedies are fruitfully employed such remedies would include.
- The cultivation of a stable political environment
- The strengthening of rgualtory agencies
- The taking over by regulatory bodies of all terminally distressed banks
- Encouragement of banking education
- Sincere pursuit by government of all economic and monetary polices.
- All regulations pertaining capital adequacy, minimum paid up capital, liquidity ratio and asset quality should be reviewed in relation to inflation rate.
- Privatization and commercialization of all government owned banks.
- All debt owned bank by government (state, tederal and even partientals) should be paid back immediately.
- All laws relating to bankruptcy and default should be reviewed and made more function.
An address like this will go a long way in remedying the situation and restoring public confidence in the system.
- STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
In light of the vital role which bank play in developing the national economy in their capacity as vectors of fund for savings, investment and employment opportunities it will be expedient to point out that Nigeria banking system in all its advancement and sophistication has not succeeded yet in effectively achieving this mission.
