1.6 HISTORICAL
BACKGROUND OF CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA
The background lies in the characteristics and different monetary systems
which recedes it this was the West African Currency Board (WACD)
The WACB was established in 1912, following the recommendation of the
eminent communities appointed by the British Colonial Authorities to study ways
and means of dealing with basic necessities, one of way financing the need of
the African and the other was the eradication of the confused.
In convenient and unsatisfactory currency position in British West
African, in colonial office memorandum of 12th December, 1912
although they underwent a series of amendment in 1915, 1923 and 1947 the
regulation were designed to issued a West African Currency Government might
share in the profit of the currency issued. In effect the WACB was changed with
four main functions.
a.
Issue of the West African countries
b.
It exchanges for existing currencies
c.
The expatriation of its existing currencies
d.
The investment of its reserve
The history of central bank of Nigeria it was established by the Central
Bank of Nigeria Act of 1958 and commenced operation on July 1, 1987
The major regulatory objectives of the bank as stated in the Central Bank
of Nigeria
act of 1958 is to maintain the external reserve of the country, promote
monetary stability and a sound financial environment and to act as a banker of
last resort and financial adviser to the federal government the financial
government. The central bank’s role as lender of last resort and adviser to the
federal government has sometimes pushed it into murky regulatory waters. After
the end of colonial rule, the desire of the government to become pro – active
in the development of the economy became visible especially after the end of
the Nigeria Civil War; the bank followed the government’s desire and took a
determined effort to supplement any short falls in credit allocation to the
real sector.
The bank soon became involved in lending directly to consumer,
contravening its original intention to work through commercial banks in
activities involving consumer lending. However, the policy was an offspring of
the indigenization policy at the time. Nevertheless, the government through the
central bank has been actively involved in building the nation’s money and
equity centers forming securities regulatory board and introducing treasury
instruments into the capital market.
The WACB rigorously discharge those functions however, it was characterized
by three elements falls partly of local currency with starting coverage, these
characteristics is straight and according to them, the system had advantages
for Nigeria to detect but the detect where neither small nor have little
practical application
In the first place, the currencies issued were not an expatriate sterling
a dependent currency in all British pounds.
Beside its automatic link worth starting of the British pounds indeed
wherever its virtues had no room for monetary management. Another short coming
of the WACB it did nothing to the African in the acts of monetary management or
develops indigenous banks and their financial institutions.
Finally because the WACB invested all its reserves in oversea London although there was
no legal obligation to on local investment out let was develop.
