BANKING SYSTEM IN NIGERIA
• The Nigerian goal is to become one of the 20 largest
economies by the year 2020.
• To achieve this economic goal, the country must have a
reliable and functioning financial system.
• In 2004, there were 89 banks in Nigeria. Most of them
were not adequately capitalized.
• Central Bank of Nigeria decided in 2004 to raise the capital
base of banks from N2 billion to N25 billion.
• This resulted into mergers and acquisitions within the
industry.
• The number of banks reduced from 89 to 24.

EFFECT OF GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS
• In 2007 – 2009 there was global economic crisis (resulted
to global recession). This crisis led to the collapse of many
renowned financial institutions.
• Divergent views about the impact of the global recession
on the Nigeria economy.
• It became obvious that Nigeria was not insulated against
the global crisis.
• The Nigerian stock market collapsed by about 70% in 2008
– 2009.
• Many Nigerian banks sustained huge losses as they were
highly exposed to the capital market and oil and gas
downstream.

THE NEED FOR FURTHER REFORMS BY CENTRAL
BANK OF NIGERIA
• The 2005 banking sector reform swept away 13 banks
and the number was reduced from 89 to 25 as at 2006.
• In 2009, 8 out of the 24 banks were declared insolvent due
to huge non – performing loans of about N2.2 trillion
($14.67billion).
• It became clear that consolidating the sector in 2006 was
not enough.
• Proper regulatory and comprehensive supervisory
framework had to be entrenched to avoid economic
collapse and also restore trust and confidence in the
Nigerian banking industry.
