The studies evaluate the impact of banks consolidation on the performance of Nigeria banks. To do this 8 years pre and post merger financial statement of first bank were obtained, adjusted, the average taken and carefully analyzed.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0     Introduction

1.1     Background to the Study

The recapitalization and consolidation exercise in the banking industry by the former central bank of Nigeria Governor, Professor Charles Soludo has necessitated the need for different organization to engage in corporate consolidation (merger and acquisition).the concept of the recapitalization refers to the current trend of compelling all commercial banks toraise their capital base from 2billion to 25billionNaira by the central bank of Nigeria on or before 31st December 2005.this has sent some of these banks on the move to consider merger and acquisition as survival strategy.

          Where We Are Before Consolidation

89 Banks with 3,382 branches predominantly in the urban centre as at June 2004 characterized by structural and operational weakness such as:

  • low capital base; dominance of a few banks
  • Poor asset quality
  • insolvency and illiquidity
  • Over dependence on public sector deposits and foreign exchange trading.
  • weak corporate governance, a system with low depositors confidence

The Vision of Consolidation are as Follows

  • As Africa’s financial centre and CBN as one the best in the world
  • facilitate evolution of strong and safe banking system
  • drive down the cost structure of banks and make them more competitive and development oriented
  • A new banking system that depositors can trust and investors can rely upon ushers in a new economy.

There are indications that banks are now favourably disposed to consolidation (merger and acquisition) after considering various options available to them on account of the introduction of the 25billion naira recapitalization, which will also send most of the banks managing directors and their boards meetings and marshalling of game plans from the preliminary reports from the negotiation table, banks could have several options to explore. In an attempt for banks to meet up with the new requirement, some banks are exploring their option of inviting foreign investors to buy into banks. Other are looking the possibility of getting investor to shore up their capital, and some are looking at the capital market option, while others are considering merger and acquisition.

 

1.2     Statement of Problem

Business organizations are recently seeing consolidation (merger and acquisition) as an alternative means of recapitalizing. The current trend of compelling all commercial banks to raise their capital base from 2billion to 25billion naira by CBN on or before 31st December 2005 has sent some of these banks on their heels to consider merger and acquisition a survival strategy.

The expected problems regarding the merger are

There exist a high degree of calculated risk taking to tap opportunities that come the way of business, but there is risk avoidance in Nigeria business and where risk is low, development is also low and industrial advancement becomes near static.

Consolidation could be a very expensive venture in terms of funds required to prosecute it successfully.

1.3     Objectives of the Study
