CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1  BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

The consolidation experience of the Nigeria banking sector commended as a result of the monumental reform of the banking system which started on July 6, 2004 at the 23rd meeting of the Nigerian bankers committee meeting held at the Central Bank of Nigeria shared his preliminary though concerning the reform of the Nigerian banking sector (Ogowewo and Uche, 2006). The ostentations reasons for the reform according to Soludo (2005) were to consolidate, deepen and enhance financial sector stability and competitiveness. To end a 13 point reform agenda for the banking sector was rolled out on July 6, 2004 with a terminal data of December 31, 2005 barely 18 months. The consolidation exercise having been completed with twenty five (25) banks emerging/form seventy five banks consolidating and thirteen (13) banks are not being able to survive the exercise (CBN 2006) This resulted to the mergence of the much taunted mega bank that are suppose to help facilitate economic growth in Nigeria.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) increased the minimum capital base for all universal bank to N25 billion in July 2004. This was an effort to strategically place the nation banking system in regional international convex and provide soundness, stability and enhance efficiency of the system. This led to merges and acquisition. Within the banking industry and thereby restructuring the entire system. The aim of the consolidation exercise among others was to groom and transform the bank into institution that investors can rely on, and depositors can trust, play development roles in the nations economy, to eliminate corruption and enhance transparency. It is also expected that the reform will overtime, down size the cost structure of the banks and guarantee higher returns to the shareholder and stakeholders of the banking industry. The consolidation banking system no doubt poses some challenges to both the banking institution as well as the regulatory authorities. This is because the banking industry becomes more concentrated as a result of consolidation and larger institutions also are more complex and tend to deal in sophisticated financial products. This makes them pose greater challenges in case of any failure.

However, banks ability to engender economic growth and development depends on the health, soundness and stability of the system, the need for a strong reliable and viable banking system is under scored by the fact that the industry is one of the few sectors in which the shareholders fund is only a small portion of the liabilities surprising that the banking industry is one of the most regulated sectors in any economy.

Having the target of competing globally but also embraced innovation in their intermediation functions. The surviving banks are molding hope that national economy hang to on them would provide a final solution to funding for the productive sectors of the economy. Arrangement is said to be on that there will be automation process rendition of returns by banks and other through electronic financing surveillance system.

The post consolidation era in the sector no doubt has witnessed the emergence of the middle class in Nigeria and significant growth in the retail/consumer end of banking. The consolidation exercise in the country is also to tackle the need for customer derived banking. It is also going to change the shape of banking in the country.

I actually googled and saw about iproject master, copied the number and contacted them through WhatsApp to ask for the availability of the material and to my luck they have it. So there was a delay with the project due to the covid19 pandemic.
