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 establishment 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 collapsed 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.

ANCHORAGE LEISURES LIMITED 2. SILOAM GLOBAL LIMITED - Respondent(s) 3. HONEYWELL FLOUR MILLS PLC RATIO DECIDENDI 1. APPEAL - NATURE OF APPEAL: Nature of an appeal "...That shown to be the angle put forward by the objector, there needs be cleared the point variously referred to by this Court that an appeal presumes or presupposes the existence of some decision appealed against where there is an absence of such a decision on a point it will be a waste of time for an appeal to lie against what the Lower Court had not reached and pronounced a decision upon. This is in consonance with the laid down practice of law that an appeal is a rehearing and for that to take place the appellate Court would reconsider the materials before the trial judge and would not hesitate to overrule his decision even on facts where after due regard and consideration it is manifest that the decision is wrong.
