CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA PRESS STATEMENT Re: Resolution of Recapitalisation through Bridge Banks The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is aware of, and supports, the decision of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), to exercise its statutory powers under the Nigerian Insurance Deposit Corporation Act, to establish Enterprise Bank Limited, Keystone Bank Limited, and Mainstreet Bank Limited as Bridge Banks, and by Purchase and Assumption Agreements, cause all the deposit liabilities and certain other liabilities and the assets of Spring Bank Plc, Bank PHB Plc, and Afribank Nigeria, respectively to be assumed by the 3 Bridge Banks, effective 5th August 2011. The NDIC, in its role as insurer of deposits and in pursuance of express statutory powers, acted to ensure that public confidence in the nation’s banking system is not eroded and that depositors’ funds are safe. The CBN, as the principal promoter of a sound financial system in Nigeria, and as required under the NDIC Act, has issued banking licenses to the Bridge Banks. Accordingly, the CBN hereby makes the following assurances to the general public: 1. That the depositors of the Bridge Banks are assured of the safety of all their deposits. 2. The CBN assures seamless business continuity and ability of the Bridge Banks to meet obligations to depositors and lender-creditors as they arise, by granting all waivers, forbearances and exemptions necessary for their operations. 3. That the CBN guarantees the inter-bank obligations of the Bridge Banks until December 31, 2011 to ensure continued operations and customer confidence. Signed: Management .

Bail-In As an Alternative Failure Resolution Mechanism in Nigeria
22 BAIL-IN AS AN ALTERNATIVE FAILURE RESOLUTION MECHANISM IN NIGERIA Kabir S. Katata Kingsley O. Nwaigwe Research, Policy & International Relations Department Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation Abstract The 2007-2009 global financial crisis resulted in public sector capital injections used to directly bail-out major global banks in excess of US$1 trillion. When the guarantees and insurance provided by major governments were added, the cost of the bail-out was estimated to be more than US$8.5 trillion. The 2009 Nigerian banking crisis led to the capital injection of N879 billion (more than 10% of GDP) into the Nigerian banks in the form of subordinated loan as well as through the purchase of bad loans. To prevent re- occurrence of bail-outs using taxpayers fund and in order to reduce the risks posed by systemically important banks, various reform initiatives were undertaken at both national and international levels, especially in the area of resolution planning. Consequently, a new tool, known as bail-in, was developed. Bail-in allows the authorities to make sure that shareholders and creditors of a bank bear the costs of failure, first before recourse to public funds. This paper describes the bail-in resolution tool available to regulators to resolve failing banks. The paper presents the bail-in creditor-funded resolution regime, its structure, merits and demerits. The paper also applies the bail-in regime to three Nigerian banks that were resolved using the bridge-bank mechanism. It was found that the bail-in resolution could have also achieved the successful recapitalisation of those banks within a much shorter time and at a fraction of the injected funds (only the liquidity support feature of the ‘lender-of-last-resort’ was required).

Impact of Non Performing Loan on Bank Performance in Nigeria a Case Study of Selected Deposit Money Banks
Journal of Business & Economic Policy Vol. 7, No. 4, December 2020 doi:10.30845/jbep.v7n4p7 Impact of Non Performing Loan on Bank Performance in Nigeria A Case Study of Selected Deposit Money Banks Eniafe Abimbola Coordinator Christ Embassy Obawole Program Analyst, New Towns Development Authority Director, Vip Koncepts Consulting Abstract The fundamental role of Deposit money banks (Dmbs) is to act as intermediary between surplus unit (supply side) and deficit unit (demand side) of fund. Dmbs objectives are profitability, growth in assets and customer base. To achieve these Dmbs grant loans and advances to individuals, business organizations and government. Loan default could be rampant resulting from low quality of assets, high non-performing risk assets (credit risk) that may result in huge loan losses and thus reduction in bank profitability. This study investigates the impact of non-performing loans on Money deposit banks’ performance in Nigeria. Hypotheses were set and data were sourced from secondary data. The study used the confirmed ECM model (via residual and least square method of analyses. The results revealed that non performing loans have impact Deposit Money Banks performance within the period of study; whereas, the impact of the individually independent variables (net interest margin and deposit to loan.) varied. The study recommends, amongst others that, effective credit policy that is reflected in flexible tenure, restructuring of credit terms and conversion should be adopted in the Deposit Money banks. This policy could help reducing the tempo of nonperforming loan, such that as return on equity is increasing, the possibility of default would decline considerably.

The Global Financial Crisis in Nigeria: AMCON's Banking Sector
PRELIMINARY YPFS DISCUSSION DRAFT | MARCH 2020 The Global Financial Crisis in Nigeria: AMCON’s Banking Sector Recapitalization Pascal Ungersboeck1 January 15, 2020 Abstract During the Global Financial Crisis, the burst of a stock market bubble fueled by margin lending and a dramatic decline in the price of crude oil resulted in a high level of nonperforming loans (NPLs) and undercapitalized institutions in the Nigerian banking sector. The government established the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) in July 2010 to purchase NPLs and to inject capital in illiquid or insolvent banks. AMCON injected a total of NGN 2.3tn (USD 15bn) in capital into eight different financial institutions. Five capital injections, roughly comparable to open bank assistance historically provided by the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, were designed to bring failing banks to zero net asset value and alloW them to remain open before their acquisition and further recapitalization by a third-party investor. The three remaining injections Were made into purchase-and-assumption-style Bridge Banks, with the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) acting as receiver. Bridge banks purchased and assumed the assets and liabilities of failed banks unable to achieve the minimum capital requirement. As a result of its operations AMCON accumulated a negative equity position of NGN 3.6tn (USD 24bn) by 2014. Observers have highlighted the uncertainty surrounding AMCON’s ability to cover its losses from funds recovered through the resolution of NPLs, returns on its equity investments, and the NGN 1.5tn (USD 10bn) dedicated to its operations through the banking sector Resolution Cost Fund.

A Review of Bank Liquidations and Consolidations in Nigerian Banks
European Scientific Journal September 2020 edition Vol.16, No.25 ISSN: 1857-7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857-7431 A Review of Bank Liquidations and Consolidations in Nigerian Banks Dr. Aderonke Tayo-Tiwo, Walden University, Minnesota, USA Doi:10.19044/esj.2020.v16n25p160 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2020.v16n25p160 Abstract Since the emergence of banks in Nigeria in 1892, the Nigerian Banking sector has undergone a restructuring series. Before the 2006 banking consolidation exercise, many banks have gone under primarily due to poor management and inadequate financial reporting. The consolidation of banks in 2006 became necessary to forestall the sector's systemic collapse since many of the banks were distressed and unable to meet their customers' expectations. This qualitative review of the Nigerian banks focused on what transpired in the sector from 2006 to date. Archival and content analysis methods were used in the data collection and analysis process mainly because some banks have been liquidated while others have been merged or acquired by other banks. Findings revealed that some banks that survived the post-2006 consolidation exercise had been liquidated; some have merged with others while the banks are still operating as standalone. The CBN has introduced the bridge banks' concept to acquire and manage distressed banks pending new buyers' time. The amended code of corporate governance of 2016 has drastically improved the CBN's regulatory and monitoring activities. Accordingly, the CBN is better equipped. Lasting measures are in place to forestall any unanticipated disruptions in the Nigerian banking sector. Keywords: Consolidation, Nigerian Banks, Mergers and Acquisitions, Corporate Governance and Bridge Banks Introduction Nigeria gained her independence from the British in 1960.

Yewande Senbore, Senior Associate, This article focuses on the banking sector crisis which engulfed the Olaniwun Ajayi LP Nigerian financial sector from 2008 to 2011, and the steps taken by the +234 1 2702551 Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in restoring financial stability. We discuss [email protected] the impact and the opportunities for international and domestic investors resulting from the crisis. Introduction In 2005, the CBN mandated all Nigerian banks to increase their capital base1 from ₦2 billion (c.US$12.5 million) to ₦25 billion (c. US$156.3 million) in order to improve their competitiveness on the international market and to increase profitability. Significant capital was raised and as a result, the banks were under pressure to realise greater profits and in turn, generate higher returns to shareholders. Nigerian banks became involved in securities trading, margin lending as well as huge oil and gas financings due to the increase in oil and gas prices at the time, thus fuelling a market bubble. When it hit in 2008, the global recession had a significant ripple effect on the Nigerian banking system. The result was that investors and traders in Nigeria had to liquidate their positions in profitable markets to fund their losses elsewhere. This led to huge exit of foreign investors from the Nigerian capital market and the attendant fall in share prices.

Resolution of Failing Banks Through the Establishment of Bridge Banks
LAGOS, Fri, Aug 5 2011 PRESS BRIEFING BY NIGERIA DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION (NDIC) RESOLUTION OF FAILING BANKS THROUGH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF BRIDGE BANKS In July 2009, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) carried out a special examination of all 24 deposit banks in Nigeria, with the aim of assessing their health, with particular focus on liquidity, capital adequacy, risk management and corporate governance practices. Ten (10) banks were adjudged to be in grave states with deficiencies in capital adequacy. Of these, eight (8) also had significant deficiencies in liquidity, risk management practices and corporate governance policies. The Managing and Executive Directors of these 8 were immediately replaced, and all the 10 banks were bailed out by the injection of fresh capital totaling about N620 billion, in the form of Tier 2 Capital. It has been two years since the commencement of the banking reforms and to date, two of the banks (Wema Bank Plc and Unity Bank Plc) have been successfully recapitalized, while four banks (Union Bank of Nigeria Plc, Intercontinental Bank Plc, Finbank Plc and Oceanic Bank International Plc have signed legally-binding Transaction Implementation Agreements (TIAs), a significant step towards recapitalization by the deadline of September 30th set by the CBN. Equitorial Trust Bank (ETB) Ltd is currently in the final stage of negotiation with a prospective investor with strong likelihood that it will meet the recapitalization deadline. However, the remaining 3 banks (Afribank Plc, Bank PHB Plc and Spring Bank Plc), have not shown the necessary capacity and ability to recapitalize within the September 30th deadline.
