Book Description
Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 4.60, , course: Banking and Finance, language: English, abstract: The objectives of this study includes to examine the effects of banking sector reforms on bank performance, savings, investments, developments of the Nigerian Banking System and Economic Growth. The banking sector is without no doubt a very essential part of the economy of a nation and any reforms carried out in it extend to other parts of the economy representing a transformational moment for the economy and its people. So it remains a nationwide challenge that the Nigerian banking sector and it’s reforms haven’t been able to significantly support the long-term financial needs of the real sector or facilitate the growth of the Nigerian economy The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) Test and The Phillip-Perron Test were used to test for stationarity of the variables, while the Johansen co-integration test was employed to indicate the existence of a long-run relationship among Gross Domestic Product—which acted as the Economic Growth proxy, Commercial Bank’s Capital, Commercial Bank’s Credit, and Number of Commercial Bank Branches which acted as the other variables. Secondary data was sourced from Commercial Bank Statistics, Central Bank Of Nigeria Bulletins, Nigeria Bureau Of Statistics, Statistical Bulletins for the period of 1998-2017. Conclusively, there was a positive and significant relationship betweenEconomic Growth and Banking Sector Reforms in the long run, but a negative relationship between Economic Growth and Financial Sector Reforms in the short-run. It was recommended that the government should ensure political and macroeconomic stability as the activities in all other sectors are affected by them, and that people are enlightened on the benefits of banking sector reforms so that they don’t take opposing actions against the goal of reforms.

Book Description
Banking and corporate governance reform is an ongoing phenomenon which has received intense global attention after the 2008 global financial crisis. This is particularly true of Nigeria where banks constitute a dominant position of the financial sector. It has compelled many financial and non-financial regulators in Nigeria such as the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Securities and Exchange Commission to revise the codes of best practices for banks and other public companies overtime with a new single code of corporate governance [the national code of corporate governance] set to be released by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria.This paper makes a contribution to the existing literature on the state of corporate governance development in the Nigerian banking and non-banking sector, the impacts of the banking regulations and the efforts put in place at ensuring that banks are well governed. It also addresses the issue of compliance, disclosure and harmonisation of codes in Nigeria. It argues that while standards and codes are being enacted and revised by the CBN, the SEC and now FRCN, there is greater need for the Nigerian internal and external environments (such as the socio-political, economic and cultural systems) to support the reforms. There is also need for better enforcement, a renewed transparency and total compliance to the spirit and letter of the code in Nigeria.

Book Description
Rage of the Risk God chronicles in the broadest conceptual language, the impact of the catastrophic global economic crisis of 2008/09 on the Nigerian banking industry, and the concomitant regulatory intervention, which had had more than mere tangential effect that as yet is reshaping the industry and the national economy in a way not exactly predictable. It contextualises the motivations, rationale, and the impact of the banking reforms embarked upon by the Central Bank of Nigeria under Mallam Lamido Sanusi, who is fondly referred to as the risk god by his professional colleagues in the banking industry because of his unmatched mastery of risk management.

Book Description
The role of banks is integral to the development of any nation due to their multiplier effects on the economy at large. This is particularly true of Nigeria where banks have an overwhelmingly dominant position in the financial system. More so, the effects of the global financial crisis on many emerging economies such as Nigeria which have re-echoed the importance of corporate governance have compelled the financial and non-financial regulators such as the central bank of Nigeria and the Securities and Exchange Commission to revise their codes of best practices for the banks and other public companies. This paper makes a contribution to the existing literature on the state of corporate governance development in the Nigerian banking sector, the impacts of the banking regulations and the efforts put in place at ensuring that the banks are well governed. It also addresses the issue on whether the banking reforms carried out by the central bank of Nigeria in relation to governance are enough or adequate for the survival of the Nigerian financial sector in the face of the global challenges. It argues that while standards and codes are being enacted and revised by the CBN and the SEC, there is need for the Nigerian internal and external environments (be it socio-cultural, political, economic, legal, religious etc.) to support the reforms.

Book Description
There is little literature on the development of banking regulation in Nigeria, or the scope of powers of the Central Bank of Nigeria, which is its core banking sector regulator. The critical impetus of this book is to contribute to the literature of this area, with a detailed exploration of the Nigerian regulatory architecture. In addition, the book also engages in a comparative analysis with two emerging economies in Africa: South Africa and Kenya. It also considers the UK and the US as comparator jurisdictions in light of their regulatory responses to the global financial crisis of 2008. This book contributes to the ongoing discourse in this area by exploring, in detail, the theoretical underpinnings of regulation and supervision, to determine whether there is an understanding of what constitutes effective regulation in these jurisdictions. Given that Nigeria is the core jurisdictional focus, a historical account of banking exchanges from the pre-colonial era to more recent times is provided. Offering an understanding of how political, local and economic settings, in conjunction with the theories of regulation, have impacted and influenced regulatory development in Nigeria, the book engages in an examination of Nigeria’s historical experiences with bank failures, including the banking crisis it experienced in 2008. The newly enacted Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act 2020 is also explored as part of this discourse. Through a critical analysis of the law, the book demonstrates that the Nigerian regulator has historically adopted a reactionary strategy, instead of a proactive and pragmatic approach, which is imperative for an effective regulatory regime. The outcome of this analysis is that there are lessons to be learned, and proposals are discussed in order to rethink the act of banking regulation.

Book Description
This piece presents data published by the Central Bank of Nigeria on currency, bank deposits and other financial assets, to enable us evaluate Professor Charles Soludo's 'banking reform proposals'. We show that Soludo's proposals emanated from his misconceptions on cash, deposit-mobilization/intermediation depths, and capital adequacy of banks in Nigeria. We emphasize that going ahead with any aspect of the Soludo proposals will create problems for the banking sector in particular, and the Nigerian economy in general. We argue that we should be concerned about rebuilding the financial system, not just the banking sector. We then proceed to show in very clear terms how Nigerian financial system has evolved in the last twenty five years, why this has been the case, and what we can do to get a deeper financial system in Nigeria.
