Description
ABSTRACT
This research is titled “Liquidity problem in commercial banks” (A case study of first banks of Nigeria).
The key objective of this research work is to find out impact of liquidity problem in Nigerian commercial banks. The project is expected to contribute on efficient management of bank liquidity and academic contribution since it contributes to existing literature.
The problem this research is set to solve is that over the years banks have continued to fail as a result of inadequate liquidity in commercial bank which rise as a result of poor management of cash and credit facilities given to customers. The researcher used library materials and field work to elicit information.
The population of this study consist all the commercial banks in Nigeria but it is restricted to only first bank of Nigeria. In Aba and Owerri in the sample size of 35, this is guided by the knowledge of the bank.
The researcher made use of simple tabulation, percentages and chi-square statistical method. The researcher tested the hypothesis and the following findings were made.
In the finding it showed that credit facilities given to customers do not affect the liquidity of commercial banks and liquidity management in commercial banks help banks get out of liquidity problems.
In recommendation, commercial banks should endeavour to maintain equilibrium between profitability and liquidity, also try and insure their bank with the national deposit corporation. Also the central bank should provide close monitor, and supervisions on the commercial bank, to see that proper liquidity is maintained.
