INTRODUCTION

1.1  BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Capital Market is an engine of economic growth and development globally. The capital market is a highly specialized and organised financial market and indeed an essential agent of economic growth and development (Odetayo and Sajuyigbe 2012).

(Okoye and Nwisienyi, 2013), because of its ability to facilitate and mobilize savings and investment. The Nigerian Capital market played an indispensable role in Nigeria’s economy by providing funds for the investors without inconveniencing the companies. Today, the activities and performance of Capital Market in Nigeria have much wider implication and this arises partly because of the growing influence of ideas and structure associated with the concept of democracy.

Shailu (2014), describes the Capital Market as a market where borrowing and lending of long term funds take place involving both debt and equity like shares, debentures, bonds etc. she points that capital market plays a very important role in promoting economic growth through the mobilization of long-term savings and the savings get invested in the economy for productive purpose.

Adeusi, etal. (2013), Opined that Capital Market is a driver or lubricant that keep turning the wheel of the economy to growth and development because of its imperative function of not just mobilizing long term funds and channeling them to productive investment but also efficiently allocating these funds to projects best returns to fund owners.

The Capital market institution is critical to the economic growth of any nation. The capital market is a network of specialized financial institutions, series of mechanisms, processes and infrastructure that in various ways, facilitate the bringing together of suppliers and users of medium to long-term capital for investment in socio-economic development projects (Al-Faki, 2006).

The Capital market is subdivided into the primary and the secondary market.

The Primary market or the new issues market provides the avenue through which government and corporate bodies raise fresh funds through the issuance of securities which is subscribed to by the public or a selected group of investors.

The Secondary market provides an avenue for sale and purchase of existing securities, Sule and Momoh (2009), found that the secondary market activities have impacted more on Nigeria per capital income by tending to grow stock market earnings through wealth than the primary market.

Aremuetal. (2011), and Donwa (2011), argued that the capital market has been identified as an institution which contributes to the socio-economic growth and development of emerging and developed economies. This is made possible by the intermediary role played by the capital market in mobilizing funds from surplus units to deficit units to be invested into projects with positive Net Present Value (NPV) which may enhance economic growth of the nation.

The institutional frameworks through which the Capital market functions in Nigeria include; the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (NSEC), the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), Stock Brokers and investors. The main objective of establishing the Nigeria capital market is to mobilize savings from numerous economic units for economic growth and development, provide adequate liquidity to investors, broaden the ownership base of assets as well as the creation of a buoyant private sector

, provide alternative source of funds for government, others are to encourage more efficient allocation of a given amount of tangible wealth through changes in the composition and ownership of wealth, create a built-in efficiency in the operations and allocation in the financial system to ensure optimal utilization of resources, and promote rapid capital formation.

The development of capital market in Nigeria, as in other developing countries has been induced by the government. Through prior to the establishment of stock market in Nigeria, there existed some less formal market arrangements for the operation of capital market.

It was not prominent until the visit of Mr. J.B. Lobynesian in 1959, on the invitation of the Federal government, to advice on the role the Central Bank could play in the development of local money and capital market. As a follow-up to this, the government commissioned and set up the Barback committee to study and make recommendations on the ways and means of establishing a stock market in Nigeria as a formal capital market.

Acting on the recommendations of the committee, the Lagos Stock Exchange (as it was called then) was set-up in March 1960, and in September 1961, it was incorporated under section 2 cap 37, through the collaborative effort of Central Bank of Nigeria, the business community and Industrial Development Bank (Alile&Anao 1990).

With the establishment of the Central bank of Nigeria in 1959 and the coming into existence of the Lagos Stock Exchange in 1961 and subsequently, the Nigerian Stock Exchange by an Act in 1979, a sound foundation was laid for the operation of the Nigerian Capital Market for trading in securities of long term nature needed for the financing of the industrial sector and the economy at large.

After the incorporation of the Lagos Stock Exchange, it was granted further protection under the law and its activities was placed under some sort of control by the government, hence the passing of the Lagos Stock Exchange Act. However, the Lagos stock exchange market was advocated.

The review was carried out to take care of the low capital formation, the huge amount of currency in circulation which was held outside the banking system, the unsatisfactory demarcation between the operation of Commercial banks and the emerging class of the Merchant Banks, and the extremely shallow dept of the capital.

In response to the problems mentioned above, the government accepted the principle of decentralization but opted for a National Stock Exchange, which will have branches in different parts of the country. On December 2nd 1977, the memorandum and article of association creating the Lagos Stock Exchange was transformed into the Nigerian Stock Exchange, with branches in Lagos, Kaduna, Benin, Port-Harcourt, Yola, Kano, Onitsha, Ibadan, Uyo, Ilorin and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja.

The Nigerian Stock Exchange is a private, non-profit making organization Limited by Guarantee.

Akeni (2007), stated that a stock exchange is an organised auction market with physical location and facilities for trading in stocks and shares through professional intermediaries known as stock brokers.

Ajayi (2005), treated it as market for the sales and purchases of corporate and treasury securities.

It was incorporated via the inspiration and support of businessmen and the Federal Government through the CBN, owned by about 300 members. The membership includes Financial institutions, Stock brokers and Individual Nigerian of high integrity who have contributed to the development of the stock market and the Nigerian economy.

The Council members (Board of Directors) of the stock exchange are elected at a piece general meeting by members of the exchange. The tenure of the Presidency is limited to one three-year term.

The council is responsible for policy-making, but the Director General (formerly Prof. Ndi Okereke Onyuike, Emmanuel Ikhazobor) and presently at the time of this research, Dr. Oscar Onyema and his team of executives administer the day-to-day affairs of the exchange.

The council members, management and staff of the Nigerian stock exchange as well as stockbrokers are subject to a stringent regime of codes of conduct, which calls for a higher degree of integrity, discipline, skill and high sense of patriotism.

Dealings members of the stock exchange are the stock broking firms licensed by the exchange to purchase and sell shares on behalf of the investing public. There are over 200 of them at the moment. The exchange is a Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO), making and enforcing rules for its members.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Despite the popular belief that democracy promotes economic activities which in turn engenders economic growth, the growth of the capital market in Nigeria is still very small in relation to the size of the economy.

CBN (2007), has it that a comparative analysis of the equity market capitalization of the Nigerian Capital Market with some countries in North and South America, Asia, Europe and Africa shows that the Nigeria market is relatively very small.

There is abundant evidence that most Nigerian businesses lack long-term capital. The business sector has depended mainly on short-term financing such as overdrafts to finance even long-term capital. Based on the maturity matching concept, such financing is risky. All such firms need to raise an appropriate mix of short and long-term capital (Demirgua-Kunt& Levine 1996).

Most recent literatures on the Nigeria Capital Market have recognized the tremendous performance the market has recorded in recent times. But the performance of the capital market especially the Nigerian stock market was overcast in 2009 by the global financial and economic crisis with the exorbitant lending rate mounting pressure on the stock market as a result of massive borrowed funds in the market.

The rush by stock investors to liquidate the investment to repay their loans in other to avoid the excessive lending rate caused the Nigeria stock market to crash.

However, Sere-Ejembi (2008), argued that it was not the global financial crisis and the speculative subprime mortgage bubbles and bust alone that was responsible for the crash of the stock market, other contributory factors lent support.

Some of these included; margin lending by the Deposit Money Banks (DMBs), stock price appreciation that had no correlation with the fundamentals in the quoting companies and local investors opting to invest in foreign capital markets to take advantage of the low stock prices.

This study is undertaken to examine the contribution of the capital market in the Nigeria economic growth and development. Aside the social and institutional factors inhibiting the process of economic development in Nigeria, the bottle neck created by the dearth  of finance to the economy constitutes a major setback to its development. As a result, it is necessary to evaluate the Nigerian capital market.

1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The study has the main specific objective, which is to ascertain the impact of the capital market on the Nigerian economy and to appraise the awareness or otherwise of the existence of the stock market by showing its impact in the business world. Other specific objectives are as follows:

  1. To determine the relationship between the Capital market and Nigerian economy.
  2. To determine or rather to evaluate if the differences of the market affects Nigerian economy.
  3. To establish the effect of the Nigerian stock exchange crisis on Nigerian capital market.
  4. To ascertain if there are challenges of the Nigerian stock exchange in developing the capital market.
  5. To determine the role of Capital market in developing the Nigerian economy.
