Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study delves into the framework of Financial Intermediation in Nigeria
with the broad intention of tracing the historical nucleus, the nature and modality
of its present day operations and researching for a suggestive improvement to the
historical system into a modernistic outlook.
An evaluation, is made of some financial institutions that can be considered
as paradigms in this field with the primary objective of capturing their positive
contribution(s) or otherwise to the financial sector's micro and Nigerian macro
economy. Also to ascertain the relationship between Time Interest Earned Ratio
and the Loans/Advances given by the banks.
The parameters of measurement have been unified in order to eliminate
unnecessary distortions and to produce results that, can be relied upon, but this is
neither an inter firm comparison nor an economic sector analysis, as such study
will be wider than this academic exercise for an academic purpose. This is simply
to provide an insight into what goes on in this segment of the monetary and fiscal
economy and to inter-marry it with theory, concept and practice and to make
suggestions for improvement.
It is concluded with the suggestive ideology that financial intermediation
should be properly interwoven with other economic sectors to produce the
required synergy for a proper economic base and a solid financial sector that will
provide the much desired debt/equity on which modern economics revolve and
thrive.
