CHAPTER ONE
1.0       INTRODUCTION
1.1       BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Central banks in West African owned their origin to the political development in rest African.
        The Central bank of Nigeria (CBN) was established in 1958, after the dissolution of West African currency board set up in 1912 where the colonial monetary system had its foundation which began to disintegrate with the attainment of political independence in Ghana in 1957, because the median of exchange were multi - farious and not very conducive to the operators of a modern monetary system.
        One could ask why Nigeria had no monetary system until the establishment of West African of simple currency system for the West African in 1912.
        The (W.A.C.B) West African currency board retained the services of the bank of British West Africa (B.B.W.A) as its currency centers in Lagos (Nigeria), Accra (Ghana), Freetown (Sierra lore) and Bathurst (Gambia) and Ghana being the first to get her independence in 1957 decide to have her own currency and other country that had here own currency, and Nigeria as one of the independent country objected to this, for which (C.B.N) central bank of Nigeria was established discuss its collaboration with other financial institution in implementing macro economic policy measure designed to facilitate efficient management of Nigeria economy.
        The W.A.C.B created an incentive for the establishment of modern financial system in Nigeria because W.A.C.B could hardly be described as a monetary authority in terms of using any discretion power to control the growth of credit and money supply in the economy which made to known that the W.A.C.B is simply a “passive monetary changes” the establishment of W.A.C.B provided the basis for agitation in favour of the creation or establishment of Central bank of banks, not only in Nigeria but in other countries operating under W.A.C.B system.
        The first formal move towards the establishment of central bank in Nigeria was in April 1952, when the private members motion was proposed in the then house of representatives, calling for the establishment of a central bank in Nigeria to perform essentially those functions generally associated with central bank, but the motion was not passed by the house because, the then colonial government termed the establishment as premature in view of the relative under development of the local financial system, and the house passed on mended motion asking the government to examine and report back to it in the possibility of establishing a central bank in Nigeria.
        Mr. J.D Fisher, the adviser to the bank of England was accordingly given the task for examining their possibility, but his report did not favour the establishment of central bank in the country, in the near future, for he did not recommend the three step programme which was proposed to lead to the establishment of the central bank of Nigeria.
        One of the steps was the transfer of the West African currency board (W.A.C.B) headquarters from London to West African, which were hoped would allow the local people to be more closely with the board and provide them with the opportunity of acquiring some expenses.
        The second step was that a Nigeria currency Board to issue Nigeria currency to be established to replace the W.A.C.B) currency.
        The third being the establishment of our band of issue which would later be development into a central bank, but all these motions did not receive Fishers recommendation and were not taken to the house of representative either, rather what led to the establishment of the C.B.N was the J.B Loynes recommendation who was also an adviser to the bank of England, as the suggested for the establishment of C.B.N and it was approved to perform a traditional function of the central baking and to serve a private in national financial institution and in the development of the economy.
 The federal government enacted a law  called bank of Nigeria ordinance as earlier mentioned in 1958 establishing the central bank of Nigeria which started functioning on July 1, 1959, when the prime minister Tafawa Balewa in a colorful ceremony declared the building open in Lagos, this made central bank to be a bank as a major financial institution in any modern economy and very important to the functioning of both the private section and the fiscal operations issuing the country’s currency and helping the government in the formation and execution of the country’s monetary policies central bank in over all developing country is basically set up by its government to perform at least these roles generally associated with central banks which its roles in Nigeria, economy like other countries are fairly wide in indeed.
