BACKGROUND
TO THE STUDY
Mobilization of resources for national development has
long been the central focus of development economist. As a result, the
centrality of savings and investment in economic growth has been given
considerable attention (Aigbonkan, 1995, Soyode 1990, Samuel 1996).
For sustainable growth and development, funds" most
be effectively mobilized and allocated to enable business and the economy to
harness their human, material and management resources for optional output.
The stock market is an economic institution, which promote
efficiency in capital formation and allocation. The market enables government,
banks and industries to raise long-term finance for new projects, expanding and
modernizing commercial concern if capital are not provided to the key economic
areas; especially industries where demand is governing and where they are
capable of increasing production and productivity of all sectors of the
economy, the rate of expansion of the economy of ten suffers.
A unique benefit of stock market to banks and corporate
entities is the provision of long-term, non-debt financial capital. Through the
issuance of equity securities, companies arid banks acquire perpetual capital
for development through the provision of equity capital, the market also enable
banks to avoid over reliance on debt financing thus, improving corporate
debt-to-equity ratio.
The existing literature clearly shows that developed
economy has explored the two channels through which resources mobilization
affects the economic growth and development, money and capital market (Samuel
1996).
However, not the case in developing economics where
emphasis was placed on money market with little consideration for capital
market (Nyong 1997).
Since the introduction of the Structural Adjustment
Programme (SAP) in Nigeria; the country's stock market has grown very
significantly (Allie 1996, Soyode 1990).
This is as a result of deregulation of the financial
sector and the privatization exercise as well as the directive of the Central
Bank of Nigeria (CBN) requesting bank to increase their asset base, which
exposed investors and banks to the significance of the stock market. Equity
financing from the capital market became one of the cheapest and flexible
source of finance from the capital market and remains a critical element in the
sustainable development of the banking sector.
Through the stock market is growing, it is however
characterized by characterized by complexities. These complexities arises from
trend in globalization and increased variety of instruments being traded,
equity option, derivatives of various forms, indeed futures etc. However, the
central objectives of the stock exchanges worldwide remain the maintenance of
the efficient markets with attendant benefit of economic growth. The link between
Stock Market performance and Trading at Margin (economic growth) has often
generated strong controversy among analysts based on their study of development
and emerging market.
As economist develops, more funds are needed to meet the
rapid expansion. The stock market serves as an irresistible tools in the
mobilization and allocation of savings among competing uses, which are critical
to the growth and efficiency of the banking sector. The determination of the
other growth of the banking sector depends on how efficiently the stock market
performs its allocation functions of capital.
As the stock market mobilizes savings, concurrently it
allocates a large portion of it to the firms with relatively high prospects as
indicated by its rates of returns and level of risk.
The importance of this function is that capital resources
are channeled by the mechanism of the forces of demand and supply to those
firms with relatively high aid increasing productivity thus, enhancing the
expansion and growth of the banking sector.
1.1. STATEMENT
OF PROBLEM
It is no longer news that the per-capital income of
Nigeria is low, compared with other countries having potentials and resources
both natural and manmade. As a result of low per-capital income, bank has low
capacity utilization due to the inability of the people to save and thus, make
it difficult to accumulate fund which could be borrowed or lent to industries
of relatively high prospects in order to increase the growth of the banking
sector.
Therefore, my statement of problem lies on: What Role Can
Nigerian Stock Exchange Play in Fund Mobilization / Raising for Individuals in
Banking Industries.

Nigerian economy, the Lagos floor of the Nigerian stock exchange in general.
However, there are some uncontrollable elements, which will affect the
effective carrying out of the study, which are:- Limited time is utilized to
cut between lecture and time to go on research; This is an important factor as
the research is a student; we have no personal source of income to fund the research.
This also includes the high cost of transportation to Lagos and movement around
the metropolis and all other incurable expenses to be incurred.
