CHAPTER ONE
 INTRODUCTION 
1.1   
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Economic development of any variables, there are those who believed that to obtain meaningful economic development, all forms of property and resources ownerships must be rested on the state. This is the central believe of those practicing communism. There are others who believe that the best way to obtain economic development is to practice free enterprise system where both the state and the private individual can own properties. In recent times, many nations have opted for a free economy where both the public and private sectors are allowed to own private properties. Under this system, personnel systems are encouraged for the purpose of investment. Investment produces an avenue by which capital formation is made possible. Thus, for any nation, the capability to accumulate wealth determines the level of output in the economy. If this is correct, then, there is interplay or a relationship existing between capital formation and economic development. However, the possession of huge capital stock does not automatically result to rapid economic growth. If for anything, even to assemble and allocate the savings for investment requires efficient mobilization and the mechanism for effecting the mobilization of this inevitable savings in the capital market. The capital market thus, said to been a financial market or a collection of financial institution set up for the mobilization and channeling of funds from the surplus unit of the country top the deficit unit. That is, it pulls the surplus funds of individual firm together and distributes it as a medium and long term loan able funds. It caters for organization who wishes to raise money for long periods, thus, the presence of capital market in any economy is not only necessary but also relevant to the process of economic development.
