EFFECTS OF GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS ON BANKS OPERATIONS
ABSTRACT
Regulatory policy has a lot of effects on the operation of banks in Nigeria. This study is very important especially in today economic transformation of a nation. Against the backdrop of success of the central banks, which is the apex bank, banks have a tremendous role to play. It is in the light of this that we discuss the effects of regulatory policy on the operation of commercial banks.
This study sets out to find the effects of these policies on the operation of commercial banks. Attempts were made at receiving the concept of regulation, the need for regulations and some banking regulations.
The findings show that in most cases, government policies enhances the performance of the banks while in other cases, it served as a set back on the activities of banks in areas like sectional allocation, interest rate (both lending and deposited) seemed to have restricted the activities of the banks.
I also discover that, issues like registration of banks, paid up capital, C.B.N supervisor’s role, banking laws like BOFID 1991 etc are imperative in the discussion.
From the foregoing, therefore, I recommend that the C.B.N should insist on some basic requirements before commercial banks could start operation to avoid bank failure more so, the federal government should implement the provision of the relevant banking laws in order to avoid the incidence of bankrupt.
Very important is the fact that bank executives should ensure to review regulatory policy vis-visa new realities.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background Of The Study
The importance of banking sector on the economy has led to considerable increase on regulatory policies by the federal government and the central bank of Nigeria.
Many scholars have different views on the concept of regulation of commercial banks. Nwikina (1997) and Gbosi (1993) agreed that “the numerous incidence of bank failure necessitate banking regulations and government policy to bring order into the system.
However, since monetary and banking activities as well as else where are intervene in several ways and have influence on the performance of each other and both controlled the same ways and as a result of the distress tat has be fallen the banking sector and the numerous failures. The government has to take some necessary steps to return sanity into the system.
The aim of government so far in controlling the financial sector is to control the money stock in order to influence domestic economic growth, the government also through the central bank of Nigeria control the activities of the banking sector by issuing license to banks, setting up the minimum unpaid up capital and supervision and examination of banks.
From 1991, when the BOFID, banks and other financial institutions decree was promulgated, there have been improvement in banking sector with the amendment made in the 2001 budget speech which requires that in the next two years, the minimum paid up capital of banks with the #1,000,000. Hopes are rising that the regulations will bring change in the banking sector. Banking is a business vested with a public interest. Successful operation of our commercial banks is therefore necessary for the orderly functioning of the nations business since all the banking sector. It is not merely the concern of those who have invested their money in the banking business, nor those who have entrusted their deposits to the bank. It is also a matter of public concern. Distress in the financial sector which has been an issue of national concern have also succeed in running the commercial banks, the customers have lost confidence they previously had in the banks due to the activities of many distress banks management, but the intervention of government and many regulatory policies which were some what late the distress would have passed the line.
Today, a lot of regulatory politics are made by the government concerning the operations of the commercial banks. In this study, the researcher will try to analyze how these policies affect the operations of the banks.
Finally, when laws are made they result in changes in the existing system over years several legislation concerning the operations of the banks has been made. In this work, the researcher shall examine various governed regulatory policies and their effects on the operations of commercial banks.

1.7 Limitation Of The Study
It is not gain saying that every road leading to success is littered with obstacles and thorns. It is acknowledged that these barriers, which limited the work, cannot be over emphasized.
Limitation of course are general constraint when carrying out a research work like this, one of the constraint faced by the researcher is the time allocated to the research topic was limited due to the brevity of the time in the session. As a result of this, virtually the research work was done in a haste to catch up with the time and to this effect the research work was limited to some extent. Other constraint being the availability of materials.
Financial constraints also posed a major factor that militate against a smooth work of this nature, due to financial constraint on my part to take care of logistic, such as transportation and other requirements.
