ABSTRACT
This research work is on the incidence of bad debts and credit management in Nigeria commercial banks a case study of African continental bank of Nigeria. On the course of this research work four research objectives, questions and hypothesis were formulated. The research adopted Chi-square and case study design as the research design for this work, Taro formula was used to determine the sample size of the population and thus the findings shows that inadequate collateral, fund diversion, lending policies and project evaluations affect credit management. That to manage loan and credit effectively, efforts have to be made to obey and respect the cannons of good lending and ensure adequate control and supervision on the facility extended within the frame work of government regulation and guidelines. Sound lending requires a clear, well-articulated and easily accessible policy document which spells out the philosophy of lending. The issue of bad debts cannot be ruled out in banking business but the incidence can be minimized with prudent lending philosophy and proper grasp of economic and political environment factors.
Banks economic purpose is to act as financial intermediary. It facilitates the process of channeling savings into investment and one of the avenues of realizing this objective is by lending effectively. Lending is considered effective if it is successfully reconciles with the banks obligation to maximize liquidity to the depositor and maximum profitability to the shareholder. It involves environmental analysis of banks objectives, resources possibilities and constraints economic environment. The resources flow and potentials in the economy as well the government, therefore involves a thorough appraisal of the position including the analysis of the financial statement, analysis of security to be offered and management competence specifically.
Lending requires development of clear-cut loan policy. Strong department organization loan review programme comprehensive credit files among other things. In the light of the above, a bank being under obligation to the shareholders and realizing the fact that the interest accruable from advance constitute the largest chunk of the annual income declared by bank considering also that banks lend to meet the economy in general. They should constitute religious commandment rather than mere techniques and guidelines, which have serious limitations. Political interference may go contrary to the laid down policy guideline.
From the fore going, it was recommended amongst others the state owned commercial banks should be effectively managed. Banks should use the services of external consultants/professionals to manage and collect debts on the account classified as doubtful and to avert the diversion of funds by some borrowing. The bank should try as much as possible to deal directly with contractors or suppliers of the borrowers, as the case may be. Much of the occurrence of bad debts cannot be eliminated totally its hope that the suggestion made in this treatise will in no small measures reduce its incidence by a wide margin. In the ordinary course of lending however, bankers unavoidably remain uncollectible and hence, charge against the income generated with the obvious afar matters of depleting profit and in some severe circumstance liquidates the affected bank. All business regrettably, experience bad debt but bankers whose stock in trade is money view debt incidences with dread.
i. African continental bank closed down by central bank of Nigeria because of the incidence of bad debts resulting from inefficiency of the bank workers and dishonesty.
ii. This unfortunate trend in the Nigeria banking industry had left creditors of the bank loose their money and their dividends as bad debts.
iii. Conflicts between boarders and management banks or among members of the board and management. This caused dissipation of bank resources and the entrenchment of inimical operating parties.
iv. African continental bank was also closed down due to doubtful debts, which gave rise to fraud and other unethical practices represent the most dominant factor responsible for its distress. It can often be traced to the very high incidence of bad debts and loan losses. This could be called fraud and unprofessional conduct.
v. Weak internal control most operational problems are by and large symptomatic of poor quality management. The quality of management often makes the difference between success and failure in banking as in most often frauds of economic end eave.
