Nigeria’s banking sector has witnessed real transformation in recent years owing to the regulator’s intervention. The going reform in financial sector has sharpened the industry and engendered increased competition among players

The reform also led to establishment of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), a unique institution that combines buying non-performing loans (NPLs) with loan restructurings and recapitalizing troubled financial institution.
