The Union Bank of Africa Plc.

The problem posed by carrying large volume of bad loans or non-performing accounts was not fully recognized until in November 1990 when the central bank introduced the prudential guidelines in line with the general standard all over the world to ask the in the country assess themselves filling thereby determine how wealthy or prudent they are in their loan credit management.

Most banks cannot unequivocally declare that they have been introduced by problem loan. Certainly, it is a way of life in those tumultuous times of banking that virtually every one of them if faced problem or so-called works out loans.

Another important reason is to decline in the economic fortune which gripped the Nigeria economy.

The focus on how to mange loans and reclaim the collateral assets securing them.

1.4 RESEARCH HYPOTHSIS

The general hypothesis to be tested in the study

Ho = Bad debt will not have positive impact on Nigeria money deposit bank.

Hi = Bad debt will have positive impact on the Nigeria money deposit bank.

1.7SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The motivation for eh study arises from the research interest in tracking the effect of economic reforms within the structural adjustment programme since deregulation of financial system of the economic reforms is expected to act the volume and pattern of landing by banks and the profitability of banks. It is necessary to investigate the extent to which profit that are being declare by banks actually reflect their true profitability position. Whether adequate precaution have been taken in their granting loans. The structural weakness of these bank is reffered in the heavy bad debt port folio, which is fact eroding their capital base. The introductory of prudential guideline has therefore exposed the weak foundation and the misfortune arising from bad debt structure data generated from the annual reports of banks with regards to eh volume of the bad debts have been fraught difficulties until the introduction of the prudential guidelines.

Firstly, it is a policy objective of the monetary authorities to recognize only income that is earned and not paper profits.

Secondly, it is also the objective of the monetary authorities to confirm with international prudential guideline.

Thirdly, it is to make banks more prudent in their lending decision through reducing incidence of bad and doubtful account.

Finally, it is to encourage bankers to become solid finally able in Ibadan the customers are partially sophisticated.

Of serious limitation of the study is the problem of data collection. Through thus is not peculiar to this study. It must be recognized that not until the prudential guideline came into effect November 1990. Most neither banks nor do they realize the need to make adequate provision of data for bad and doubtful debts what banks did at best was to make petty provisions for those classes of debts.
