Abstract
This study examines the role of banks in International
Trade finance and facilitation using Afribank Nigeria Plc as
a case study.
Beside the management of Afribank Nigeria Plc, a number
of respondents from other banks were involved in the study
consisting managers, head of foreign departments and other
people directly or indirectly involved in International Trades
and or facilitation.
One main null hypothesis was postulated based on the role
of banks in International Trade financing and facilitation in
Nigeria.
Both primary data in form of interview and secondary data
obtained from official documents were used to provide answers
to the main hypothesis
The findings show that Banks in Nigeria actually play
important role in International trade financing and
facilitation thereby rejecting the NULL hypothesis and
accepting the ALTERNATIVE hypothesis.
Consequently, it was recomnended among others that
management of foreign exchange allocation be decentralized,
effective marketing tools be put in place to facilitate easy
trading; constant training of staff of foreign department, and
head of Divisions and Branches; wide and reputable corespondents
(foreign) and stable macro-economic environment are very
necessary to enhance performance of the Banking sector in
International trade financing and facilitation in Nigeria.
