Notwithstanding, the recent global economic meltdown which tends to set a disjunction between the surplus and the deficit sectors, the surplus sector appears not to be interested in lending to the deficit sector, this pose a serious bottleneck to the proper functioning of the money market, thereby reducing the level of investment in the economy. The logic question now is what would be the lot of Nigerian economic and its inhabitants in general.

They financial market is segmented into two- of is money market, which deals in short term funds and the other capital market that is for long term dealing in funds ( Anyanwu 1996). The basis of distinction between the money markets and the capital market lies in the degree of liquidity of instruments bought and sold in each of the market which can be further sub –divided into primary and secondary markets, while primary market is concerned with the raising of new funds, the secondary market exist for the sale and purchasing of existing centuries that are already in people’s hands thus, enabling savers who purchase securities when they have surplus funds to recover their money when they are in need of cash to (Afolaki 1991).
 Money market play a key role in banks liquidity management and transmission of monetary policy. In normal times, money markets are among the most liquid in the financial sector.

Therefore, the development of the money market is in all stakeholders interest the banking system itself the central banks and the economy on the whole.
