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.

    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.

APPEAL - INTERFERENCE WITH CONCURRENT FINDING(S) OF FACT(S): Instances where the Supreme Court will not interfere with concurrent findings of fact(s) made by Lower Courts <span style="font-size: 12px;">"I acknowledge the submission of the Appellants wherein the learned Appellants' Counsel urged us to disturb the concurrent findings of the two Courts down the stairs of our judicial hierarchy. This Court cannot disturb concurrent finding of fact by the trial Court and Court below contrary to the supposition of the Appellants. The law is trite and well established that an appellate Court may interfere with findings of a trial Court when such findings have been made on legally inadmissible evidence, or they are perverse or are indeed not based on any evidence before the Court.
