This was followed by the enactment of the 1958 Central Bank Act and the Banking Ordinance of 1959. The banking legislation was further strengthened with the enactment of the Banking Decree of 1969. This consolidated previous banking legislation; raised minimum paid up capital requirements and empowered the CBN to specify a minimum capital/deposit ratio (Ekundayo 2014). It also empowered the CBN to impose liquidity ratios and placed restrictions on loan exposure and insider lending (Oloyede 2014). Banking sector forms the life wire of economic growth of any nation.

The central bank of Nigeria which is government charged with the responsibility of closely monitoring and regulation of the activities of other banks to ensure that they render service to their customer in a manners that is consistent with government stipulated rules and financial policies. The ensure that these laid down rules and standard are maintained among other bank and to guarantee that depositors monies are effectively managed there is the need for inspection and examination for effective discharge of these functions the inspectorate division of the central bank has adopted an effective internal control procedures in order to give adequate coverage thorough inspection and examination this defined objective this is enhanced by selecting adequate man-power needs for this purpose.
