ABUBAKAR viii THE NIGERIAN BANKING SYSTEM 1. The Development of Banking in Nigeria The historical development of the financial system in Nige- ria dates back to 1892 when modern banking business com- menced and a formal and institutional channel of saving mobilization was introduced into the economy with the es- tablishment of the African Banking Corporation (“ABC”). The operation of ABC was later taken over in 1894 by the British Bank of West Africa (which later became Standard Bank) and subsequently, First Bank of Nigeria. Owing to the colonial heritage, the pioneer commercial banks in Nigeria were of foreign origin and their operations favoured finance of foreign trade and commerce. Thereafter, several other foreign and a host of indigenous banks were established. The establishment of indigenous banks was initially propelled largely by nationalistic con- sciousness rather than the existence of relevant resources, including basic skilled manpower, for running such institu- tions. Consequently, most of the early indigenous banks col- lapsed in rapid succession. Banks that failed during the early stage of the evolution of the Nigerian financial system were largely those with problems of inadequate capital, poor management, and fraudulent practices, among other factors. An important feature of the Nigerian financial system, es- pecially before the establishment of the Central Bank of Ni- geria (“CBN”), was small scope of operations of participat- ing foreign institutions and the complete absence of any form of institutional regulatory framework which would provide the necessary guide for both the operations and or- derly development of the system. These were some of the reasons behind the slow development of the financial system during the pre-CBN era. The situation however changed from 1958 when the CBN was established. Since then, series of efforts have been made by the CBN and other relevant authorities to promote the ix [2002 – 2004] 11 N.B.L.R. (PART I) Nigerian Banking Law Reports growth and development of the Nigerian financial system. For example, the need to develop the system and create an avenue for investment of short term funds informed the issue by the CBN in 1960 of Treasury Bills as a supplement to Commercial Papers that were already in the market. Other money market instruments after the establishment of the CBN but prior to the introduction of the Structural Adjust- ment Programme (“SAP”) in 1986 included Treasury Cer- tificates in 1968, Certificates of Deposit in 1975 and the Bankers’ Unit Fund as well as Stabilisation Securities in 1976.

Although JASLWJ avows a religious purpose in its activities, it takes full advantage of the social and economic deprivation to recruit new members. For any viable short- or long-term solution, this article concludes that the country must go all-out with its anti- corruption crusade. This will enable the revival of other critical sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing, likely ensuring more employment. Should the country fail to stamp out corruption, it will continue to witness an upsurge in the activities of JASLWJ, and perhaps even the emergence of other violent groups. The spillover effects may be felt not only across Nigeria but also within the entire West African region.

  • First Election Security Threat Assessment
    SECURITY THREAT ASSESSMENT: TOWARDS 2015 ELECTIONS January – June 2013 edition With Support from the MacArthur Foundation Table of Contents I. Executive Summary II. Security Threat Assessment for North Central III. Security Threat Assessment for North East IV. Security Threat Assessment for North West V. Security Threat Assessment for South East VI. Security Threat Assessment for South South VII. Security Threat Assessment for South West Executive Summary Political Context The merger between the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) and other smaller parties, has provided an opportunity for opposition parties to align and challenge the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This however will also provide the backdrop for a keenly contested election in 2015. The zoning arrangement for the presidency is also a key issue that will define the face of the 2015 elections and possible security consequences. Across the six geopolitical zones, other factors will define the elections. These include the persisting state of insecurity from the insurgency and activities of militants and vigilante groups, the high stakes of election as a result of the availability of derivation revenues, the ethnic heterogeneity that makes elite consensus more difficult to attain, as well as the difficult environmental terrain that makes policing of elections a herculean task. Preparations for the Elections The political temperature across the country is heating up in preparation for the 2015 elections. While some state governors are up for re-election, most others are serving out their second terms. The implication is that most of the states are open for grab by either of the major parties and will therefore make the electoral contest fiercer in 2015 both within the political parties and in the general election.

  • Machiavellianism: the Godfathers and the Godsons in Nigeria

The study specifically aimed to explain the nature of politics in Nigeria. It also set out to describe the role of godfathers in ensuring that their godsons acquire political power. In addition, it sought to explore the godsons-godfathers relationship after acquisition of political power in Nigeria. Relevant data were obtained through secondary method and were analysed. The study revealed that the nature of politics in Nigeria is that of winner-take-all. The results also show that the godfathers operate by scheming to acquire political power for their godsons. The findings further showed that after the godsons had acquired political power in Nigeria conflict of interest often occur between the godson and the godfather. The study concluded that there is misapplication and misinterpretation of Machiavellianism among politicians in Nigeria. Recommendations were made as followed: introduction of power sharing arrangement that will address the current winner-take-all system, attention should be given to morality in politics, emphasis to be placed on the good aspect of Machiavelli‟s counsel, desperate power seekers should be checked, and the need to have morally sound cum patriotic leader.

As part of adopting a “historic decision on a comprehensive, far-reaching and people-centered set of universal and transformative goals and targets” (United Nations, 2015, p. 3), the many actors who participated in drafting this agenda for the future recognized, amongst other goals, the need to “promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels” (United Nations, 2015, p. 14). As part of this initiative, the United Nations also articulated, along with other specific objectives to fulfill that goal, the need to: “- Promote the rule of law at the national and international levels and ensure equal access to justice for all. - By 2030, significantly reduce illicit financial and arms flows, strengthen the recovery and return of stolen assets and combat all forms of organized crime.

  • The Security Situation in Rivers State: an Open Letter from Amnesty International to Peter Odili, State Governor of Rivers State
    The security situation in Rivers State: an open letter from Amnesty International to Peter Odili, State Governor of Rivers State Ref.: AFR 44/027/2004 15 September 2004 Dear State Governor Peter Odili, Amnesty International is writing to express its deep concerns for the protection of human rights of civilians living in and around Port Harcourt in relation to the increasingly alarming security situation in Rivers State, due to fighting allegedly between rival armed groups. Amnesty International has learnt that the Joint Security Force with a mandate to combat the problems of these rival armed groups, set up in June 2004, following your request to the Federal authorities in Abuja for reinforcement, has subsequently been dissolved and replaced by a special joint task force named ‘Operation Flush out 3’, under the command of Brigadier General Zakariah Yaduma, as announced on 9 September by the Federal Defence Quarters. Following this and after the emergency security meeting called by yourself in Port Harcourt on Monday 6 September 2004, resulting in a 24-hour ultimatum to the armed groups to surrender and reorganization of the security forces, Amnesty International has received reports that an unspecified number of additional troops, including armed forces, the navy, the air force, and mobile police, have been deployed to the area in order to restore law and order. The organization is seriously concerned that the reported order to ‘use maximum force’ in order to combat the problem without the necessary training or instructions could be misinterpreted and lead to human rights violations and abuses. Last weekend it was reported to the organization that air raids discriminately targeting areas known to be heavily populated were used in order to pursue this goal.
