
The reports of the special examination team carried out by CBN/NDIC revealed that
nine out of the 24 banks were in grave situation, prompting immediate intervention by
CBN

Non-performing loans in the ten banks totaled N1, 696 billion, representing 44.38% of
total loans.

Aggregate provisioning required in the ten banks amounted to N1,221.52 billion

Capital Adequacy Ratio in the ten banks ranged between (1.01) and 7.41%, which were
below the minimum ratio of 10%

The additional capital injection required by the banks was N495.83 billion

One key aspect of earlier reforms was Universal Banking which allowed banks to
venture into different business which posed a serious challenge to the regulators
Lecture to the Sylvester Monye Foundation , Asaba, Delta State, July 9, 2010.

When the nine banks were identified to be in a grave situation, the CBN took
proactive steps to prevent further deterioration, instead of suspending / revoking
licenses or handing the banks over to the NDIC
 The CBN’s initiatives to date include:
 injecting N620 billion into the nine banks
 replacing the chief executives/executive directors of eight of the banks with
competent managers with experience and integrity
 reaffirming guarantee of the local interbank market to ensure continued
liquidity for all banks
 guaranteeing foreign creditors and correspondent banks’ credit lines to
ensure confidence and maintain important correspondent banking
relationships
 The capital injection enabled the nine banks to continue normal business
operations and prevented a run on the banks
Lecture to the Sylvester Monye Foundation , Asaba, Delta State, July 9, 2010.


The current banking reform is meant to
encapsulate a holistic set of strategies and
initiatives designed to stabilize the banking
sector and promote long term sustainable
growth of the sector and the economy as a
whole.

The reform is based on four pillars.

the world with considerable success

conceptualised as a resolution mechanism

 assisting banks in improving their capital and liquidity positions
 Banks transfer their bad loans into AMCON in exchange for bonds issued
by AMCON and guaranteed by the Federal Ministry of Finance


Economic growth has been robust, however, major challenges
remain:
 Generation
of employment opportunities
 Weak link between the major growth drivers,
particularly agriculture, and manufacturing sector,
hence, the manufacturing sector remains an
insignificant contributor to growth

There is need to address the following binding
constraints to growth:
Lecture to the Sylvester Monye Foundation , Asaba, Delta State, July 9, 2010.
29
 Physical infrastructure constraints:
 Electricity and transport – there is need to deepen the
deregulation process to attract private investors
 Need to review allocation of responsibility for infrastructure
development among different levels of government
 Inadequate Access to finance:
 Regulatory interventions to develop all sectors of credit market, from
microfinance to larger corporations
 Acceleration of credit market reform such as dispute resolution mechanism,
credit bureau regulation, and leasing laws
 Development of the public-private partnership framework, legal framework
for rental markets, etc
 Reducing the high lending interest rate
 Efforts in all these areas are being fast tracked

Climate
 Simplification

 Capacity building in various areas of the economy
 Provision of adequate security for lives and property
 Tackling the issue of corruption
Existence

 Prioritizing
technical and vocation education training
 Equipping enterprise and industrial clusters to develop
capacities
High
Cost of Inputs
 Replacement
of import bans with tariffs
 Deepening the ports reforms
Lecture to the Sylvester Monye Foundation , Asaba, Delta State, July 9, 2010.
31
Growing
banking system liquidity is still
desirable
Thus:
 Fiscal
stimulus remains critical to support CBN
actions to fast-tracking recovery process
 Urgent need to inject fresh funds into the banks
affected by regulatory actions
 Ring-fencing/removal of ‘toxic assets’:
 Establishment of asset management company
(“AMC”)
Lecture to the Sylvester Monye Foundation , Asaba, Delta State, July 9, 2010.
32
 Realising
the limits of monetary policy
 There is need to strike an appropriate balance between
monetary and other policies
 There is a limit to what monetary policy can do to
deliver economic growth
 Other complimentary policies must be in place.
 Banking sector reform should not be an end in itself
 It is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for
economic growth and development
 complementary
reforms in other areas of the economy
is absolutely necessary
