CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1   BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In a modern economy, there is distinction between the surplus economic units and the deficit economic units and in consequence a separation of the savings investment mechanism. This has necessitated the existence of financial institution whose job includes the transfer of found from savers to investors. One of such institution is the money deposit banks, the intermediating roles of the money deposit bank place them in a position of trustees of the saving of the widely depressed surplus economy units as well as the determinant of the rate and shade of the economic development .the techniques employed by banker in the intermediary function should provide them with perfect knowledge of the out-come of lending such that funds will be allocated to investments in which the probability of full payment is certain. However, in practice no such tools can be found in the decision of the lending banker.  Virtually all lending decision are made under creditors on uncertainty associated with lending decision, situation are so great that the concept of risk and risk analysis needs to be employed by lending bankers in order to facilitate sound decision making and judgment. This statement implies that if risk are to be objective assessed, lending delicious by the money deposit bank should be base less on quantitative data and more on principle too subjective to proved sound and unbiased judgment. Furthermore the bank depends heavily on historical information as a basis for decision making.

Apparently aware of the inadequacies of his decision base the lending banker has often sought solace in tangible and marketable assets as security giving the impression that lending against such security is an insurance against bad debt. This makes the bankers complacent his loan portfolio. The increasing trend of provision for bad and doubtful debt in most money deposit banks is a major source of concern not only to management but also to the shareholder are becoming more aware of the dangers posed by these debts. Bad depts. destroy of the earning asset of bank such as loan and advance which have been described as the main source of earning and also determine the liquidity and solvency which generate two major problems that profitability and liquidity, has to earn sufficient income to meet its operating cost and to have adequate return on its investment.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The problem for this study is appraised the lending and credit management policies of a typical money depot bank (the union banks of Nigeria plc)with a view of finding the causes, consequence of bad debts in banks. Year after year, banks suffer much from the part of full loan extended which has for one reason or the other proved unrecoverable. Banks lose millions of naira in various bad debts yearly and despite effort by bank management, committee of chief inspector and the banker committee on other hand the wave of bad debt in bank are still on alarming proportion. This is gathered from a combination of literature reviews on the topic.

On the other hand, many banks experienced a lot of bad debts when the new government abandoned the project awarded to the contractors by past government. These contractors borrowed to execute the project awarded to them to them but could not repay the loan, due to government action on ramping the economy thereby abandoning the project. Other experiences were during the time of draught or poor rainfall and pest. These however led to low harvest which did not give the farmers enough time to repay their debt. 

Again, experience may arise in respect of lapses on the part of the banks credit officers. For instance, there may be excesses over approved facility, unformatted facilities and expired facilities not renewed on time. In each of these cases the customer may easily deny even owing the bank all or part of the amount. Money deposit banks may be unable to take the risk of lending more but when eventually they do, they would seek the best way they come out of risk with a realistic reward which they are clearly failing to achieve at present.

1.3     RESEARCH QUESTIONS  

In view of the consequences of bad debt in Nigerian money deposit banks, it is necessary to formulate some research question which will enable the researcher formulate statistical tables for testing hypothesis

1.       Has inadequate collateral security provision by borrower caused bad debt in union bank of Nigerian plc?

2.       Does fund diversion have any effect on bad debt of union bank of Nigeria plc?

3.       To what extent has government intervention in lending policies of money deposit bank influenced bad debt in union bank of Nigerian plc?

4.       To what extent does improper project evaluation influenced bad debt of union bank of Nigeria plc?

1.4     OBJECT OF THE STUDY

i.        to determine and appraise the lending procedure of banks using union bank of Nigerian plc as a case study with a view to highlighting the effectiveness and adequacy or otherwise the credit management policy of Nigerian banks in reducing the occurrence and consequences of bad debts.

ii.       To highlight the rate at which inadequate collateral security provision by borrower increases the incidences of bad debt in Nigerian.

iii.      To determine whether fund diversion has any effect on bad debt of money deposit banks in Nigerian.

iv.      To ascertain the extent to which government intervention in lending policies of money deposit bank has influenced bad debts in Nigerian money deposit banks.

v.       to highlight the extent to which improper project evaluation influence bad debt of money deposit banks in Nigerian.

1.                 Ho: inadequate collateral provisions by borrowers does not increase the incidence of bad debt in union bank of Nigeria plc

1.6              SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

It is hardly an exaggeration that the difference between the success and the failure in the banking industry is in the effective management of the bank’s loans and advance. Efficient loan management is vital to the protection of assets and the achievements of adequate returns to investment. Though much work abound in the literature of the technique of lending, the methods of securing such lending and the pit alls that await the unwary banker by comparison it appears to be very little in point on the subject of loan management and recovery.

A study of this subject will therefore be a welcome addition to the existing volume of banking literature.

Effective loan management recognized that beyond the application of sound banking principles whenever a loan is made, there is need for urgency in appreciating the point when a loan begins to look doubtful, in arriving at a decision as to the appropriate action and in taking that action. This will enable the bank to at least obtain full payment including accrued interest or at worst to mitigate the capital loss in the face of increased competition among banks, future profits are likely to be harder to come by and since bad debts are a charge against profits, t is appropriate that we review the methods, proportions and margins of lending to bad and doubtful debts.

Hence the significance of this study to bankers will enable them to appreciate an appraisal of their lending and control mechanism now that they are expected to lend under tight monetary conditions. The economy as a whole will benefit from the study because if the level of bad debts is reduced, banks will be left with more profits to enable them make the expected contributions to the development of the economy.
