CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Nigerian banking sector had witnessed a dramatic change since 2005 till date. This has in no small way brought about reasonable change in the credit policy (lending framework) of the surviving banks. Though, there were in the past, loans given out to customers because of their relationship with the owners or management of such banks but recent changes in the sector has checkmate such unwholesome practices. Giving out of credits is an integral part of the banking sector because customers are bound to request for loan(s) from their various banks as they engage in their business transaction so as to enable them meet up with their financial obligations in the bid to achieving the business objectives. Hence, the importance of credit policy is to ensure that the legal framework or structure is put in place to guide the borrower and borrowed, thus creating an atmosphere of mutual understanding between the parties to the credit agreement.

These policies are guideline to be followed before any credit/loan is given out to a worthy customer. This is to put the bank, money borrowed in safety.

c. Are there unknown hidden charges?
d. Time and ability of paying back?
Sequel to the above questions, it is obvious that the customers among other factors might not be able to get loan/credit as accessed easily by customers by coming up with policy(ies) that soften the process of granting loan
