1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The quest to embark on this research work by the researcher is anchored on a number of factor which in its entirety, represent a black spot in the Nigeria Banking Industry, of particular note is the re-occurring cases of bahk distress premeditating the adoption of bridge banking solution. The statement of problem therefore becomes the following:
i. Rising case of bank distress in the country: Saduiki (20 12) placed the Nigeria in the Banking industry as ojne with the highest case of bank distress in sub- Saharan Africa. A total of five (5) era of distress have been witnessed with each involving massive losses of jobs, erosion following such distress. This therefore increases the fall for a distress resolution which would stand the test of time. Accordingly, the research shall examine bridge banking system in Nigeria banking industry with a view to indentify us impact in the resolution of bank distress in Nigeria, banking industry distress have been witnessed with each involving massive losses of jobs, erosion of deposition fund general economic stock following such distress. This therefore increases the fall for a distress resolution which would stand the test of time.
ii. The low level of confidence in the Nigeria banking industry: Adems (2012) stated that there is a significantly low level of trust, confidence reposed by bank customer and shareholder in the management of Nigeria Banking. The implication of this is that customers and investor (shareholder) do not want to commit significant portion of their funds to bank. It is therefore important that for the banking industry to progress, an adequate system of distress resolution be put in place to ensure increase customer and investors patronage.
iii. Under development of the Nigeria Banking sector: cases of mismanagement of -banks funds, non- performing loans/ bad debt e.t.c have made the level of development of the Nigeria banking industry to be slow Ajibade (2012) observed that the industry actual growth rate is less than 5th This is in comparison with suddenly increase of bank capital from 2 billion to 25 billion to this end a system that will guarantee steady development of the industry (even in the event bank distress should be encouraged)
