  • Global Financial Meltdown and the Reforms in the Nigerian Banking Sector
    Sanusi Lamido Sanusi: Global financial meltdown and the reforms in the Nigerian banking sector Speech by Mr Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, at a Public Lecture delivered at the Convocation Square, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, 10 December 2010. * * * 1. Protocol Distinguish Ladies and Gentlemen, let me begin by thanking the organizers for honouring me with this invitation. First of all, I must thank the Vice-Chancellor, the Senate and Council of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) for this wonderful privilege and for inviting me to give this lecture titled “Global Financial Meltdown and Reforms in the Nigerian Banking Sector”. I am aware that the highly regarded ATBU Public Lecture Series focuses on developments on topical issues in our nation. Therefore, my invitation to this highly regarded event in the ancient city of Bauchi, and the hometown of our great Prime Minister, late Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, is greatly appreciated. As the International Monetary Fund, IMF observed, the extent and severity of the crisis that began with the bursting of the housing bubble in the United States in August 2007 reflects the confluence of myriad of factors some of which are familiar from previous crises, while others are new. As in previous times of financial turmoil, the pre-crisis period was characterized by (i) surging asset prices that proved unsustainable; (ii) a prolonged credit expansion leading to accumulation of debt; (iii) the emergence of new types of synthetic financial instruments; and (iv) regulatory failure. This time around the rapid expansion of securitization (not itself a new phenomenon), which changed incentives for lenders and lowered credit standards caused the crisis.

  • Nigeria's Economic and Investment Agenda
    Draft Report On the 17 th Nigerian Economic Summit 1 Introduction The Seventeenth Nigerian Economic Summit (NES#17) was held between November 10th and 12th, 2011 at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja. The Summit with the theme: “ Attracting Foreign Direct Investments through Global Partnerships ” was a remarkable departure from previous summits which had focused on public private partnerships for Nigeria’s economic growth and development. It was an historic event: First, it coincided with Nigeria’s 51 st independence anniversary and the first of its kind since the inception of President Goodluck Jonathan’s Administration. It was also organized at a time of high public expectations on the need to deliberately stimulate growth that will translate to visible national development. The Summit was declared opened by President Goodluck Jonathan. It was structured to include six plenary sessions, two parallel sessions, a presidential debate and a regulators’ forum. It was attended by 1,552 delegates made up of company executives and policy level participants, including members of the diplomatic corps and foreign delegates. Public sector participants numbered 346 compared to the 293 recorded at NES#16. Discussions at the event centered on the theme and Nigeria’s economic progress, including challenges and opportunities posed by the current national and international socio-economic circumstances, and emphasized the need to sustain public private sectors’ collaborations as a way forward to achieving the National Vision 2020 (NV20:2020) through increased and sustainable global partnerships. Thus, 60 per cent of the resource persons at the Seventeenth Nigerian Economic Summit were acclaimed CEOs; foreign participation was enhanced to the highest yet (100) since the inception of the summit.

    Journal of Education and Learning; Vol. 5, No. 2; 2016 ISSN 1927-5250 E-ISSN 1927-5269 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Leadership Training at First Bank of Nigeria: A Case Study Fatai Lawal1, Randall Thompson1 & Elizabeth Thompson1 1 University of Phoenix, Phoenix, Arizona, USA Correspondence: Randall Thompson, University of Phoenix, Phoenix, Arizona, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Received: January 14, 2016 Accepted: January 26, 2016 Online Published: February 23, 2016 doi:10.5539/jel.v5n2p9 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jel.v5n2p9 Abstract The purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study was to identify components of an exemplary leadership development program that might serve as a framework for training leaders for banking organizations in Nigeria. We recruited 30 managers, supervisors, and officers with at least 10 years of banking experience to explore leadership development at First Bank of Nigeria’s headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria. Face-to-face interviews focused on exploring what type of corporate leadership training strategies worked for First Bank of Nigeria. Four major leadership development strategies that worked best for First Bank emerged from analysis of the qualitative data obtained: (a) classroom, online, and on-the-job training; (b) mentoring; (c) coaching by a shadow manager; and (d) personal development and work-life balance. First Academy, the training arm at First Bank of Nigeria, has made valuable contributions to developing leaders in the fast-paced Nigerian banking industry. Other banking organizations in Nigeria may want to incorporate leadership training strategies used by First Bank of Nigeria. Keywords: bank, mentoring, nigeria, leadership, shadow, training, coaching, First Bank of Nigeria, work balance 1.
