CHAPTER ONE
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In Nigeria, credit has been recognized as essential tools for promoting small and micro enterprises (SMEs). About 70 percent of the population are engaged in the informal sector or in Agricultural Production. The federal and state government have recognized that for sustainable growth development, the finance empowerment of the rural area is vital, being the repository of the predominantly poor in society, and in particular the small and micro enterprises (SMEs). It is to enhance the improvement of the living condition of the people.
The small and medium scale entrepreneurs in rural areas lacks the necessary financial services, especially credit from the commercial banks, this is because they are considered not credit worthy. These programme range from Agricultural Development Project (ADP), the establishment of Agricultural credit bank to better life programme failed to achieve the desired result that lead to emergence of microfinance bank aimed at extending credit to micro enterprises and encourages entrepreneurship especially in semi urban and rural area.
The microfinance bank was introduced in 1996 to promote banking habit at the gross root level and it was established by the president of the federal republic of Nigeria Gen. Olushegun Obasanjo. They are institution constructed as a company licensed to carry on the business of providing micro finance services such as collection of saving loans provision, insurance money transfer services and other non financial services that are needed by the poor. The client of microfinance banks are typically self employed low income entrepreneur in both urban and rural area.
Currently, micro-finance banks are of two forms, as all licensed community bank in Nigeria that meet CBN guideline have been transformed to microfinance bank.
