"Beck, Cull, and Jerome assess the effect of privatization on performance in a panel of Nigerian banks for the period 1990--2001. They find evidence of performance improvement in nine banks that were privatized, which is remarkable given the inhospitable environment for true financial intermediation. Their results also suggest negative effects of the continuing minority government ownership on the performance of many Nigerian banks. The authors' results complement aggregate indications of decreasing financial intermediation over the 1990s. Banks that focused on investment in government bonds and non-lending activities enjoyed a relatively higher performance. This paper--a product of the Finance Team, Development Research Group--is part of a larger effort in the group to study the effects of bank privatization in developing countries"--World Bank web site.

Considerable efforts have been made in Europe and America to investigate the relationship between industry structure and organisation performance. This study extends such investigation to Nigeria. Results are presented for tests of the two contending hypotheses of market structure on the Nigerian commercial banking industry using pooled data for the period of 1990 to 2000. Generally, the study finds evidence of a significant and positive relationship between concentration and profitability in the Nigerian banking industry and concludes that banking products and services in Nigeria are inefficiently priced. The study cautioned against the use of mergers and acquisitions as well as other related policies to managing banking crisis as these might lead to further concentration of the industry.

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 3.52, , course: BANKING FINANCE, language: English, abstract: This study intends to discuss and exchange views on the impact of electronic banking on the performance of banks in Nigeria. Banking has come a long way from the time of ledger cards and other manual filing systems. Most banks today have electronics systems to handle their daily voluminous task of information retrieval storage and processing. Three or four decades ago, banking was a simple business; customers saved their money with banks and received their financial services from banks. When customers open account they received passbook from the banks with which the account would be operated and when it is a current account, they received cheque books for the same purpose.
