History of Banking In Nigeria
The Nigerian banking ordinance of 1952 and the banking act of 1958 and various amendments and innovations through 1969 laid the foundation for the operation of commercial banking in Nigeria. The number of commercial banks operating in the country rose from eight (8) in 1959 to twenty five (25) in 1983. as at 1995 there are 65 commercial banks in Nigeria with 1634 branches in urban areas 763 branches in rural area and 6 branches abroad totaling 2403 branches a significant increase. While bank branches and offices increased from 160 to 1108 branches and offices in these period. The total deposit liabilities also rose from 13.6 million Naira in December 1969 to 13.9 billion Naira at the end of 1983. Since 1977 and following the enactment or promulgation of Nigeria Enterprises promotion decree 1972 it has become mandatory for all banking institutions in the country to be at sixty percent (60%) Nigeria owned. This showed that with the promulgation of Nigeria enterprises promotion decree Nigeria have started loving more than fifty percent (50%) shores in the commercial banks operating in the country following the current capitalization that us map out by the central banks on all the commercial banks operating in Nigeria.
The commercial banks have over the years proved to be the most important financial intermediary.

For sometime now there have been a large stream of articles books and researches on commercial banks lending polices. This is so because of the need for fund by both the private and public sectors for development purposes. Frankly commercial banks do not have their individual lending policies but can adjust within the stipulated standard with an aim to utilize their customer’s deposit to attain the goal of optimum profit.
It is disheartening to team that the efforts of various government (federal and state) towards the attainment of self-sufficiency in the industrial agricultural product have been on persistent increase. There have been great shortage of most of the essential food product and raw materials. They do not seem to be any significant improvement with regard to output or productivity of private sector. In the area of loans and advances that people now cast doubt over the ration ate of commercial and allied bank loans or credit scheme.
Some people have gone as far as asking the following questions. Do real and deserving industrialists and agriculturist especially in the areas actually receive these loans? What impact have these loans created in the private sector of the economy?

Hence my decision to appraise the commercial banks lending policies to private sector.
