CHAPTER ONE
1.0
INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW OF THE STUDY
It would be observed that, despite the presumed developments in the Nigerian
economy, the country is still largely being regarded as a developing country
(Onyema, 2006). More so, its industrial growth is not quite impressive.
Before the emergence of formal microfinance institutions, informal microfinance
activities flourished all over the country. Traditionally, microfinance in
Nigeria entails traditional informal practices such as local money lending,
rotating credit and savings practices, credit from friends and relatives,
government owned institutional arrangements, poverty reduction programmes etc
(Lemo, 2006). The Central Bank of Nigeria Survey in 2001 indicated that the
operations of former microfinance institutions in Nigeria are relatively new,
as most of them never registered after 1981.
Before now, commercial banks traditionally lend to medium and large enterprises
which are judged to be credit-worthy. They avoided doing business with the poor
and their micro enterprises because the associated cost and risks are
considered to be relatively high (Anyanwu, 2004).
The Federal and State governments have recognized that for sustainable growth
and development, the financial empowerment of the rural areas is vital, being
the repository of the predominantly poor in society and in particular the SMEs.
If this growth strategy is adopted and the latent entrepreneurial capabilities
of this large segment of the people is sufficiently stimulated and sustained,
then positive multipliers will be felt throughout the economy. To give effect
to these aspirations various policies have been instituted over time by the
Federal Government to improve rural enterprise production capabilities.
(Olaitan 2006)
In view
of this, the impact of micro finance bank in economic growth and development of
Nigeria started showcasing itself. With the initiative of microfinance, rural
areas are opportune to grow and develop as loan and fund are easily given to
rural farmers and entrepreneur. Jobs opportunities were created since there is
avenue for lending and investing.
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
There are so many problems and challenges that hinder the functionality of the
microfinance bank in carrying out their major role of improving economic growth
in Nigeria.
These problems include
- poor attitude of Nigerians towards MFBs
- insufficient support from the regulators and government
- There are communication gaps and inadequate awareness among the masses.
- Undue competition rather than cooperation from the mega banks, and undue malpractice/Sharp practices by microfinance bank operation.
The
researcher will in the research find possible ways of solving or making better
the conditions for the operation of MFBs.

in economic development is through the encouragement of entrepreneurial
development.

obtain loan and be able to manage their enterprise.
To this effect, the following hypothesis will be tested, thus.

growth and development in Nigeria since the number of entrepreneurs that uses
their services is low

growth and development in Nigeria since the number of entrepreneurs that

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

the impact and role that micro finance banks have on the economic growth and
development in Nigeria, especially the rural areas which is a criteria aimed at
measuring economic standard.
Owing to the fact that researcher has aimed at pinpointing the ways in which
micro finance bank can help in the revamping of the nation’s economy, the
findings of this research work will be of great help to most developing
countries who may wish to toe the part of Nigeria in MFB development.

1.8 LIMITATION OF STUDY
Due to this topic, our area of concentration will be mainly based on the role of Micro finance bank in the development of Nigeria economy.
In a research work of this nature, there are bound to be factors that act on the contrary. There militating against one’s effort. Time which no matter how abundant it was limited, this is one of the factors. The time allowed for research work of this nature is quite short, even though it gives room for supervisor’s day to day consultation. However, the research work was carried out within Kaduna and some part of Nigeria; therefore, it was administered to a sample of population. This study should be interpreted with caution in the light of fact that a sample can hardly be same as population. The hesitant nature was also a limiting factors in carrying out this research work. The conclusion therefore are based on the readily information provided, but the limitation however does not render research work useless but allows it to used as a basis for decision making and as a basis for further research work.
