These changes have been influenced largely by changes posed by deregulation of the financial sector, globalization of operations, technological innovation and adopted of supervising and prudential requirement that comfort to international standard. As at the end of June 2004, there where 89 banks operating in the country but as January 2012 till date it is only 21 banks operating in the country, comprising soundness structurally, the sector is highly concentrated as ten largest bank account for about 50 percent of the industries total assets/small capitalization compared to other banks in other countries. The small size of most our banks each will expensive headquarters separate investment in software and operating expenses and with high branches in few commercial contras lead to very high average cost for the industry. This is turn has implication on the cost of intermediation the spread between depositors and lending rate which put undue pressure on banks to engage in sharp practices and as a mean of survival.

It is obvious that some of our banks are not engage in strict banking business in terms of saving, intermediation but are traders in foreign exchange.

In government treasury bills and sometimes in direct importation of goods through phony companies. This is unhealthy for the economy. Sometimes ago before the reform of the banking sector, many Nigerian bank depend significantly on the government deposits, with the three tiers of government and parastatals accounting for over 20 percent of total deposits liabilities with banks. Although, the distribution among banks whose dependency ratio is un excess of 50 percent. The implication are that the resources base of such bank is wealth and volatile rendering their operations highly vulnerable to swings in government revenue, a rising from the uncertainties of the international oil market prior to the implementation of this reform, many banks appears to have abandoned their essential intermediation role of mobilization saving and inculcating banking habit at the household and micro enterprise levels. The apathy of banks towards small savers, particularly at the grass roots he problems of low domestic saving and high bank lending rate in the country. But it has reduced access to relatively cheap and stable of credit that could provide a reliable source of credit to the productive sector ate affordable rates of interest.
