Abstract:
The subject matter of this Project Report is quite topical and relevant and its timing is unique. Banks have vital role to play in the industrial transformation of an economy by making their finical resources available for financing and promoting the much needed economic development in developing economies like Nigeria. As such, banks have significant role to play be it in times of economic boom or depression. Bank of the North Limited is the most successful wholly indigenous bank in the country which is contributing meaningfully in the economic development of not only the Northern States but Nigeria as a whole. This project report is the first major attempt to conduct research into the bank’s contribution to the economic development of its sponsors, the eleven northern states The timing is quite unique because it concides with the writer`s ten years of meritorious service with the bank, having joined on November 30, 1978 and opted forth is course in September 1988. In order to appreciate the changes in growth and structure developments in the north, we need to examine the ownership distribution and the; structure of the bank and the types of service they render to the public. Performance indicators like the sets and liabilities , deposit loans and advances and investments will be analysed. The adequacy or shortcomings of the bank in promoting rapid economic development will be appraised in broader perspective and from the point of view of the stated objective.
