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 colo- nial 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 participating foreign institutions and the complete absence of any form of institutional regulatory framework which would provide the necessary guide for both the operations and orderly devel- opment of the system. These were some of the reasons be- hind 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 ix [1994 – 1996] 6 N.B.L.R. (PART II) Nigerian Banking Law Reports by the CBN and other relevant authorities to promote the 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 Certifi- cates in 1968, Certificates of Deposit in 1975 and the Bank- ers’ Unit Fund as well as Stabilization Securities in 1976. The establishment of the CBN also aided the development of the capital market.

  • Presentation at the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference, Abuja 2015 on Current Developments in Judicial Reforms in Nigeria
    PRESENTATION AT THE NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION ANNUAL GENERAL CONFERENCE, ABUJA 2015 ON CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS IN JUDICIAL REFORMS IN NIGERIA Introduction The words of the then Speaker of the Nigerian House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal at the public hearing of the bill for the enactment of the administration of Criminal Justice Bill vividly captures the need for continuous judicial reform of any nation. According to him “….human society is dynamic; the system of administration of justice cannot be static but must be improved to create more effective and efficient mechanisms, procedures and institutions for dealing with the new realities and challenges in the society. This is because it is impossible to have a sound economy without a solid foundation of good laws that can curb anti-social behaviours and other disruptive tendencies. As we develop plans and strategies for the economic and other forms of reforms, we also need to develop plans and programmes for creating sound laws and procedural systems consistent with our commitment to our legislative agenda.” One cannot but agree with the above submission as a sound economy is the surest engine of growth and the shortest route to tackling the challenges that confronts any given society. No nation, therefore, can boast to have achieved the best of reform in its judicial system at any given time without putting measures in place that allow for the continuous reform of its justice sector in line with the changes inherent in human society which also translates to changes in the economy. The role of law in promoting economic development cannot be underscored because most of human lives and interaction with each other are regulated by law.

    SOCIO-LEGAL BARRIERS TO THE EXPANSION OF LEGAL AID IN NIGERIA: INITIATING LEGAL REFORM THROUGH THE CUSTOMARY COURT SYSTEM OLÚBÙNMI EUNICE ỌNÀFUWÀ Doctor of Philosophy School of Business and Law UNIVERSITY OF EAST LONDON July 2020 i Abstract The core of this study is directed towards an analysis of the laws, rules and guidelines that embody legal aid provision in present day Nigeria. This study will employ a socio-legal approach to investigate the root causes of Nigeria’s limited legal aid scheme. It will also focus on the relationship between law and society and will employ appropriate empirical research methods for an in-depth understanding of significant causal factors that influence legal aid provision in Nigeria. These factors will include an examination of Nigerian legal institutions, legal processes, and legal behaviour,1 particularly how legal institutions and legal processes affect individuals and how they are perceived by ordinary citizens and potential recipients of legal aid. This research considers the potential for other sources of law, and other legal institutions, such as customary legal systems, to be used as an additional, credible way to access, develop and expand legal aid provision in Nigeria. This study adopts two qualitative techniques: semi-structured telephone interviews and self- administered questionnaires, which were completed and returned via email. The request for respondents was launched on social media. In total, fifteen respondents partook in the study: twelve via self-administered questionnaires and three via telephone interviews. The inquiry was focused on a people’s perspective, the respondents were a variety of ages above 18, and evenly distributed by gender.

  • Egba Indigenes in the Politics and Political Development of Nigeria
    Greener Journal of Social Sciences ISSN: 2276-7800 Vol. 2 (1), pp. 009-018, February 2012. Research Article Egba Indigenes in the Politics and Political Development of Nigeria. *K. A. Aderogba, B. A Ogunyemi and Dapo Odukoya Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria. *Corresponding Author’s Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Egba indigenes have been very prominent in political history of Nigeria. The objective of the paper is to examine the political development of Nigeria and the roles played by Egba indigenes. Abeokuta founded in 1830 has been a notable settlement in Nigeria. The Egbas have been significant members of ruling political parties. They have contributed significantly to the political development of Nigeria. The likes of Adetokunbo Ademola, the Ransome Kuti family, Madam Tinubu, George Sodeinde Sowemimo, Wole Soyinka, Moshood Kashimawo Abiola, Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo, Olusegun Osoba, Dimeji Bankole and others cannot be forgotten in the political history and political development of Nigerian. The researchers listened to a number of radio and television documentary programmes. News paper cuttings, magazines and journals were read. The paper used oral interview conducted with some retired and active political party chieftains, the monarchs, and notable members of Nigerian public. Providence has bestowed it upon them to play active parts in the political affairs of Nigeria. Not even a single ethnic group has ever had it so good and in the political history and development of the country. However, whoever is in power needs to be supported and encouraged to move the nation ahead . Key Words: Egba indigenes, politics, political development, Nigeria.
