INTRODUCTION

1.  BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Banking is an age-long practice with the issue of trade by barter. It was however, difficult to convince people to adopt the stress that banking should be applied to cash management. The idea of saving for the raining days, be it in cash or kind is of paramount important. The concept of building yam barns in the olden days was a form of currency, was not just to secure them but also to save them. Effective management of resources, be it in kind or cash been the bare of the banking system. In Nigeria, the central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has carried out stringent economic policies aimed at ensuring effective management in the banking sector which comprises commercial merchant and micro finance banks.
