Although certain aspects of the Nigerian commercial banking system have been explored so frequently that one can hardly hope to add much that is new on the analytical level, there are yet other aspects which require further analysis and frequent re-assessments in order to bring to the banks' management, students of financial studies and all other parties interested in the activities of the banks, the awareness of some fund management theories and techniques. Moreover, banking is a fascinating business which has now become very diverse and the pace of change as rapid that the need for up-to-date review is essential. It is with these objectives in mind that we are writing this paper.
