ONE WOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT NIGERIA IS NOT EXEMPTED FROM THE CRISIS. THIS IS THE MAJOR REASON WHY THIS PROJECT WAS EMBARKED UPON TO ASCERTAIN THE EFFECTS OF THIS GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS ON OUR ECONOMY BUT WITH THE BANKING SECTOR AS OUR CASE STUDY. THE PROBLEM CAUSED BY THIS GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS ON OUR ECONOMY AND ESPECIALLY THE BANKING SECTOR CANNOT BE OVER EMPHASIED. THE PROBLEMS TYPICALLY INCLUDE INCREASE UNEMPLOYMENT, DECREASED CONSUMER AND BUSINESS SPENDING, DECLINING STOCK PRICES, DEPRECIATION OF NAIRA AGAINST FOREIGN CURRENCIES, SHARP FALL IN THE PRICES OF SHARES AND MANY MORE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF THIS GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS ON THE BANKING SECTOR AND ECONOMY AT LARGE. FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS, THIS RESEARCH, THE METHOD OF QUESTIONNAIRE WAS USED FOR DATA ANALYSIS WAS PERCENTAGE FORMULA AND ANY PERCENTAGE THAT IS MORE THAN FIFTY (50) PERCENT IS ACCEPTED WHILE BELOW IS NOT.
