BACKGROUND OF STUDY
A bank can be defined as an organization whose principal operation are
concerned with the accumulation of temporarily idle money of the general public
from the purpose of advancing to others for expenditures.
John page defined a bank “A corporation or person(s) who accept money on
current account, pays cheques on such account on demand and collects cheque for
customers”
Oxfords advanced learners Dictionary define a bank as an
organization or a place that provides a financial services or a place where
something is stored ready for use.
The establishment of modern banking in Nigeria dates back to the
colonial when the African Banking corporation was formed in 1892 to distribute
currency notes of Bank of England for the British Treasury subsequent
developments were encouraged by colonial trade. In the bid to address the
credit needs of indigenous enterprises, Nigerian late ventured into the banking
business, initially through private individual initiatives and later through
deliberate government policy.
The problem of distress in the financial sector, including
outright bank failure, has been observed in Nigeria as back as 1930 when the
first bank failure was reported indeed, between 1930 and 1958 when the central
bank of Nigeria (CBN) was establishment over 21 bank failure were recorded.
However, the degree of intensity and scope of the distress has
never been as serious as has been observed since June 1989 when government
directive to withdraw deposits of government and other public sector
institution from bank to the CBN exposed the weak financial condition of most
financial institution and the severity of problem has progressively here used.
The distressed condition has been traced to a wide range of
causes, some of which are listed on literature review. Eventually, when
distress came to into the scene, fears of loosing fund to the banks influenced
negatively, the banking habit of the rural dwellers.
