ABSTRACT
This project is a thorough research into the impact
of community banking on the economic
development of Nigeria a case study of ohha
community bank Nigeria Ltd. No.1
Ogui Road Enugu
. in carrying out the research
investigation into the performance of the community banks and the extant they have contributed in the e3conomic development of Nigeria
especially in the concerns grass root development were identified and properly
evaluated. Also various measures adopted
by the management of these community banks were identified and appraise and
suggestion on how improvements can be made contribution toward the return on
investments and contribution towards the
economic well being of the nation are achieved.
To
facilitate the work data were collected from both the primary and secondary
sources; pre3sented to aid test the
development hypothesis on the basis of estimated population means.
Within
he limit of the analysis carried out it was observed that community banks have many problem facing them due
largely to the inability to function very well in some places due to lack of infrastructure lack
of sufficient funds lack of skilled
workers and prohibitions by
National Board for community =banks to
obtain from outsiders which hinders their rate of expansion.
The research recommended that government should
command the national board for community banks to allow these communities to
expand and obtain loan outside community base.
A call on government to organize an intensive training scheme for the

CHPATER ONE
INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
1.1 BACKGRUND
OF THE STUDY
Ever
since the introduction given by Good to man to
“Be fruitful and multiply” replenish and subdue the earth” man has alone
a lot to pursue this injunction of subduing
the earth. By this it entails
among other things the development of
the world as a macro society for the overall good of man- economically
politically socially and otherwise.
The
wheel of change has been rolling on through the entire world transforming
virgin lands deserts oceans and seas to the economic advantage of man. Nigeria was unknown then. The first step in the British acquisition of Nigeria was
the annexation of lagos in 1861
(ONWUBIKE 1973). It marked the
first major step taken by the British
government in the 19th
century to acquire economic and political domination over the people of Nigeria. A chattered company- the royal Niger company
was administering the high land
of Nigeria – North of
Lokoja – on behalf of the British the British government had declared a
protectorate over areas claimed by the
company in 1887. Then on 1st Jan. 1990 it took royal Niger company and named it the protectorate of Northern Nigeria with laggard as its first high commissioner. Floral Shaw- formal colonial correspondent of
the times on London who later became Lugards wife ealled this great political unit Nigeria in 1900. (onwuikeo,1973) finally the two Selecta government : the colony and the protectorate of Northen Nigeria on 1st Jan. 1914.
Lugard became its first governor-
general. The coming into existence of Nigeria was
aptly described by late sir Ahmade when be
rather solemnly said “God did not create Nigeria the British did” (onwubiko 1973). Nigeria
continued in this march toward development in every facet of life as a new emerging nation in the west African region and by October 1960 she
was granted political freedom and emancipation when she
was granted independence. To crown the
whole stride it had already made she was
granted a republican status in 1963.
To
grapple with the attendant problem as an emerging nation and satisfy its
citizenry various development plans were
launched to accelerate economic development so as to put Nigeria in the
proper place among the comity of
nations. The first development plans was slated to run from 1962 to 1968
but extended to 1970 on the account of the civil war. It witnessed the construction of the Niger
Dam project as well as the development
of roads light industries such as
textile rubber and groundnut processing which used agricultural crops ; the encouragement of agriculture in
the from of establishment of from
institutions and granting of loans
(Anderson, 1976).
The
second development plan (1970 – 1975) experienced a lot of problem. Recovery
from civil war delayed the
implementation of some project.
The funds that were anticipated were not forth coming and there was lack or
technical partners needed to carry out
some aspects of the plan. The third
development plan covered a period of five years (1975 – 1980). The principle
long run objectives are to similar to
those of the proceeding post independence plans. The objectives are to make Nigeria.
1.
Argent and dynamic economy.
2.
A united strong and self reliant nation
3.
A just and egalitarian society
4.
A land bright and
full of opportunities for all citizens.
5.
A free and democratic society.
A 90% annual
rate of growth G.D.P was assumed for the plan period and the total
capital investment was to be N30 billion.
The plan strategy was to utilize the country’s resources to develop the productive capacity
of the economy. The plan was revised
upward in 1976 (Ojo, 1982) some of the
highlights of this plan were Agriculture. N1.4mbuilding of two oil refineries at warri and expanded. The iron and steel industry.
Which featured in the previous plans was to be
established at Ajeokuta in Kogi state. A
total of N6000m was allocated to
the industrial sector. Development of
the infrastructure also took a large slide with a total of N4000m being allocated. More roads were to come under the control of the federal
government and a modernization of the
railways was planned. The electricity
capacity was to be extended to 1,500 meg watts with improvements also in its
distribution all costing N 163m. social
service were not neglected ; N2400m was
budgeted for the arimed forces.
The 4th development plan equally followed
suit to run from 1981- 1985- and described equally what development is all
about. Since development is
multidimensional in definition to road
thus:
True
development must means “the development
of man- the unfolding and realization of his creative potentials enabling him
to improve his material condition and living through the use of resource available to him. It is a process by which man’s
personality is created organized and disciplined – which is the moving force
behind socio - economic transformation of the society.
Most
community leaders especially during the colonial times saw development as more
of provision colonial times saw
development as more of provision of schools health centers hospitals
post offices hall, churches mosques,
good roads potable water electricity and telephone. Ewuly (1996).
However in the post independence era, the development process came to
put more emphasis on the development in the material conditions and living (of
man) through the use of came to stress
production and productivity.
In
spite all these development plans
experimented in the past Nigeria
like other countries of the third world
has continued to face two challenges of
economic development. The first challenge is the basic level need to attain
this need involved the problem of
harnessing the vast natural and human resource of the country
so as to extend her national economics
muscle and thereby enable her to catch
up with the rest of the civilized
world in terms of living standard. (Okafor 1991)
The
other challenge is the need to achieve qualitative economic growth by attaining balance socio-
economic development. National development is balanced
when it permeates all the social and geo-political strata of a nation
and affects all sectors of the national
economy. The problem of economy
developments in Nigeria as in other
development countries is therefore not just that of getting the economy to run faster than the rest of the world economy so as to catch up with but to get the economy
to run on both legs. Nigeria
economy has manifested symptoms of
non-balanced economic development in various ways. This is evidence in the near
total dependence on oil the non- diversification of the export basket the over emphasis on coerce (on
–banking ) to the determent of authentic
(value added) manufacturing. It accounts for the litter to near total neglect of grass root development.
Fortunately
Nigeria
government has demonstrated unusual
resolve and taken definite moves to
grapple with the problem of non- balance development . this underscored by the problem of non-
balance development. This underscored by the various development
projects like OFN- operation feed the nation the Agricultural development project (AOA)DFRRI, SAP (structural Agricultural
program) which was designed primarily to
deal with fundamental economic problems generated by years f fruitless effort at non- balance
economic development. The policy component of SAP while is relevant for this project is the
impact of rural banking as it regards grassroots (economic development)
through the establishment of community
banks. The researcher wants to find out how far these
community bank have contributed at
improving the economic situation of this country - with particular interest in ohha community
bank Nig. Ltd . A community bank means
an institution licensed to provide credit banking and other financial service
to a designed “catchment” area or
community.
How the
ohha community bank Nig- Ltd. Measured
up to the basicterms in the definition of a community bank? Are they operating within the scope of
functions of community bank?

1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Community banks have been assessed as capable of unshaken
the monoculture economy of the country by empowering the entire productive
sector at the grassroots level therefore ensuring even development across
the country community banks promote rural development
by providing effective simple services to the people an instrument for inculcating proper banking
habits (saving and investment ) is now
in place for the rural dwellers to work
towards increasing his/ her per capita
income and therefore be able to contribute more
effectively toward the development of
the area in which he/she lives.
When idea is conceived and placed on
the drawing board it appears rosy. But when it comes to practical implementation
most of the bitterness and problem emerge.

The essence of
the introduction of the community banking system.
4.
The operational mechanism of collatersation banks
removed the issue of collaterisation of loan before any person can enjoy any so
as to achieve the desired economic development .

small and medium scale traders
c0-operative societies and formers etc. to invest their money and property on
project that would field optimum result.
It will also aid them if they want to borrow from the bank since from the study it is
required on loan from the community banks.
To students researchers and those with
curious and inquiring minds it will
extend itself as a pedestal or substratum upon which expansionary and follow
–up study offering course on community
banking it will be added to the wealth of literature available for referencing.
