Background of the Study
Given the magnitude of
economic problems that confronts Nigeria especially since the early 1980s such
a stagement growth, rising inflation, unemployment, food shortage and mounting
external debt the necessity for economic reforms become paramount. It was
considered that failure to initiate reforms which would seriously jeopardize
the long term growth and development prospects of the Nigeria economic. This
step was the major policy moved by government in soothing the poor economic
situation which was resulted in poor allocation of scare resources. Poor
returns to investment and low productivity etc since the emergence of the
structural adjustment program (SAP).
In 1980, most sectors
of the Nigeria economy have continually be deregulated. Deregulation forms one
the major policy strategies for revamping Nigeria economy. It will however lead
to stimulating investment, increase in efficiency allocation of resources and
decrease in wastage in productivity process. One sector that has to be greatly
affected by deregulation is the banking industry. The banking sector stand as
one of the major engines of growth in the economy of nation and has been used
as one of the main stimulants of exchange in the Nigeria economy. According to
Oyelan (1988) bank and other financial institutions are the bedrock to
revamping the Nigeria economy adding that “banks” have a crucial role to play
in the programs, against the back drop of the most fundamental changes in the
nations economy, courtesy of infrastructural adjustment program SAP as further
stated by Falae (1990) “Banking and finance are both the handmaid and mid-wife
of the economy”. In recognition of the above certain key areas of banking have
been affected by deregulation to stimulate economy transformation and growth,
these are as follows:
1.
Deregulation of
the interest rate structure allow it to be determined by market forces and
sometimes fixing margin within which it can fluctuate all these is to stimulate
saving and investment in the economy.
2.
Deregulation of
the foreign exchange are bought and sold by the banks and determined for the
purpose of having realistic exchange with which would removed the existing
distribution and disequilibrium in the economy.
3.
Deregulation is
registration of new banks that is free entry of bank with a view of increasing
competition and efficiency.
4.
Equity

banking and stimulating industries growth and investment.

Deregulation of
credit and monetary control order which the cost and availability of credit and
determined through the financial market, these step indirect approach to
monetary control. This is to generate more investment in the economy and
promote growth.
6.
Deregulation
sectorial allocation of credit, consequently all allowing the market to
determine the allocation of credit in the economy.
7.
The removal of
the central bank from the orbit of the finance and it acquisition of
autonomance satus with retorting responsibility direct to the persidence as
enhance its operational efficiency.
The above policy
measures stated have affected the banking industry greatly even the so called
big three that is United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, First Bank of Nigeria Plc,
Union Bank of Nigeria Plc since the policy moved geared towards affecting bank
credit and deposit directly as defined by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in
the banking policy guidelines publication and since profit maximization is one
of the main stays of the existence of banks, authors investigation how the
policy measures has affected profit ability of banks, through the credit and
deposit flow, with particular reference to the United Bank of Africa (UBA).
United Bank of Africa (UBA) Plc is one of the oldest Nigeria banks and of the
Africa leading financial institution was established in 1949. the bank merged
with former standard trust bank during the consolidation exercise which
commenced in July, 2004 through December, 2005. the bank offers banking

must be an understanding of the factors governing there was indirect monetary
control by the central banks whereby banks were allowed to fix the interest
rate, there was a tendency to retain increase in interest rate structure as a
