INTRODUTION

It is generally accepted among the financial expert and economist that a necessary condition for rapid economic growth and the development is rested on adequate financial planning. However, the financial system of Nigeria is still underdeveloped. This fact can be educated by the pivoted role provided by the financial institution in the economy which is  principally connecting the surplus and deficit sector in the economy.

Thus, banks, insurance companies providence funds and other financial houses mobilize funds, which are channeled to productive sector of the economy. In general, these mobilize funds can be transmitted to the deficit  unit three principal ways these are

i.              Another is through private placement in which the firm more or less dispenses with the financial market.

ii.            Through financial market, which are organised where the suppliers of funds or lenders and demanders of funds or lender and demanders of funds borrowers carryout their  transactions.

However, this study is about the method by commercial banks and insurance companies to mobilize funds and how the funds mobilized are utilized for the development of the economy.

Moreso, the need also arises for commercial banks and insurance companies in Nigeria to know how they have both faired in their roles as financial intermediaries.

1.1      PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The licensing of any financial institution is to provide for the financial needs of the economy whether short, medium or long-term finances.

 It is pertinent therefore that the role of financial intermediaries cannot be dispensed within the  development  of real sectors of most significantly  a capitalist oriented economy. As an economy develops, there will also be growth in the financial assets to the growth in the income, structural changes occur in the  financial system itself.

This positive relationship between the financial system and the real sector development is very true of a capitalist economy where the market forces of supply and demand operate freely to determine the allocation of the scarce resources in the economy. However, if the financial institution are repressed by direct control of both market force by the monetary authority. It may affect the effectiveness of their roles in the economy development of the country as argued by Cameron McKinnon and shawn in financial regression hypothesis or shallow finance.

It is shown from the available fact that in 1960 the number of insurance companies operator in Nigeria were twenty seven ( 27) this grew to seventy (70) in 1973 and seventy-nine ( 79) by 1980, eighty- three (83) in 1985, ninety (90) in 1977,  ninety – four (94) in 2000, it grew to one hundred (100) in 2002 and 136 in the year 2004, whereas the numbers of commercial banks within the  same period were thirty (30) in 1973, fifty-five (55) in 1985 which has increased to two hundred (200) till date.

However, this study is aimed at elaborating on how commercial banks and insurance companies have helped in the development of the economy via mobilization and the actual channeling of funds to the needy (deficit) sector(s) . A comparative analysis study of these two industries of Nigerian financial institution shows that they both grew in standard.

Therefore this study is aimed at establishing the following

i.      Analysis of the various   source of fund (income) to commercial banks and insurance companies.

ii. Examination of the uses of the mobilized funds by aforementioned segments of the financial system.

iii.          Comparative study of the performance of commercial banks and insurance companies as related to the selected companies.
