THE STRUCTURE OF THE NIGERIAN CAPITAL MARKET AND IT'S IMPACT ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
ABSTRACT
The project examines the structure of the Nigerian capital market and its impact on economic development in Nigerian Stock Exchange. The study main objective is to ascertain the means of raising funds in Nigeria capital market and also to find out if the capital market has any significant impact on the masses. The primary source of data collection was used in gathering data from respondents. A structure questionnaire was designed by the researcher and validity by two experts from the statistics department was used to obtain data and chi-Square (X2) was used to test hypotheses formulated.
It was discovered ignorance of the public as to the benefits derived from being a listed number of the capital market has contributed much to the low level of trading in the stock market. The study concludes that the capital market does not have a tremendous impact in the capital market because the more the companies in the market, the higher the rate of expansion it will have. Based on the findings the study recommends amongst others that tax laws should be reviewed by the federal government to see that the tax burden on those who invest in the capital market is reduced to nearest minimum so that investors will be encouraged to invest more.
CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
1.1 Background to the Study
The Nigerian capital market is a part of the Nigeria financial system. The Nigeria financial system has been the life wire on which the Nigeria economy pilots its macro-economy variables. For any economy to be able to take care of her responsibilities i.e. The citizen adequately, it must have a very strong financial system.
The financial system refers to a set of rules, regulations, aggregation of financial arrangements, institutions and rest of the world to increase economic growth and development of nation. It does this by providing a medium of exchange which promotes specialization, mobilization of facings from the surplus units and channeling into the deficit units of the economy for productive capacity and over all output and employment (Akinsulire, 2011).
The Nigerian financial system has evolved over the last few decades from a rudimentary to a more sophisticated one with numerous institutions and operators that facilitate the performance of the primary role of the system savings, mobilization and allocation of resources among competition units within the system.
The Nigerian financial system comprises of several financial institutions, instrument and operators. The financial system regulators include the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), these are the major regulating agencies in Nigeria. Others are Commercial Banks, Development Banks, such as Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), the Nigeria Bank of Industry (BOI), the Nigeria Agriculture and Co-operative Bank (NACB), the Nigeria Industrial Development Bank (NIDB) and specialized banks. Other institutions and funds include the National Pension Commission (PENCOM), insurance companies, the National Economic Reconstruction Fund (NERFUN) finance houses, Bureau De Change and the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC). This in terms of number and variety, the Nigeria financial system is quite robust.
From the information, it can be seen that the financial system is the tool a nation uses in raising funds.
The aim of this research work is therefore to bring to light the ways the capital market operate by analyzing the importance of corporate capital to the economy of Nigeria.
1.2 Statement of Problem
The problem of this research work is to analyze how the capital market operates and also its impact on the economic development of Nigeria.
However, the following problems were also identified by the researcher during the course of the study and there include: unavailability of literature covering the Nigeria capital market and corporate securities, public ignorance of the existence and benefit of the Nigerian stock exchange, stressing on the effect of this ignorance as far as loss of Investment opportunity as well as understanding the mechanism, structure and rating of the capital market of Nigeria economy.

1.8 Limitations of the Study
The study is faced with some constraints which may likely affect the generalization of findings, the constraints include the following:
- The compilation of information used for the preparation of these work has not been easy. One of such problem is the refusal of some staff having the fear that they might be dismissed if they disclose any information regarding their work.
- Problem of sourcing for material; The research was faced with problems of getting current materials, textbooks, journals, seminar papers in relation with this research topic. The University of Benin library are outdated for this research work.
