Finance
In a recent report “The Nigerian Financial System at a Glance”, the Central Bank of Nigeria stated that the structure of the Nigerian Financial System has been through several remarkable changes. These include, ownership structures, the number of institutions, regulatory and supervisory frameworks and, the overall macroeconomic environment within which financial institutions operate. The role of the finance sector in the growth of any economy, cannot be overemphasized.
