Thesis Abstract

The role of Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) in the banking sector is crucial for maintaining financial stability and promoting public confidence in the banking system. This research aims to explore the functions and effectiveness of the NDIC in safeguarding depositors' funds and ensuring the stability of the banking sector in Nigeria. The NDIC was established as an independent agency in 1988 to provide a safety net for depositors and enhance the stability of the financial system. One of its primary functions is to insure deposit liabilities of licensed banks and promptly reimburse depositors in the event of bank failure. By providing deposit insurance coverage, the NDIC helps to prevent bank runs and maintain depositor confidence in the banking system. In addition to deposit insurance, the NDIC plays a crucial role in bank supervision and regulation. It works closely with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to monitor the financial health and compliance of banks with prudential regulations. The NDIC conducts risk-based examinations of banks to assess their financial condition and ensure that they operate in a safe and sound manner. By supervising banks, the NDIC helps to identify potential risks and prevent bank failures that could destabilize the financial system. Furthermore, the NDIC is involved in bank resolution and liquidation to minimize the impact of bank failures on depositors and the economy. In cases where banks are unable to meet their obligations, the NDIC implements resolution measures to protect depositors and maintain financial stability. This includes the sale of failed banks, transfer of assets and liabilities, and payment of insured deposits to depositors. Overall, the NDIC plays a critical role in maintaining the stability and resilience of the banking sector in Nigeria. Its functions in deposit insurance, bank supervision, and resolution are essential for protecting depositors, ensuring sound banking practices, and preserving financial stability. By fulfilling its mandate effectively, the NDIC contributes to a safe and resilient banking system that supports economic growth and development. This research will analyze the impact of the NDIC's interventions on the banking sector, evaluate its effectiveness in safeguarding depositors' funds, and provide recommendations for enhancing its role in promoting financial stability. By shedding light on the importance of the NDIC in the banking sector, this study aims to contribute to the ongoing efforts to strengthen the resilience of the financial system in Nigeria.
