However, risk, safety and security in the banking industry remain a critical elements, although not only for the banking sector, but also for Nigerian populace. Banks stand or fall on confidence, trust and sturdiness; People entrust their funds to banks, because they are confident the bank will be there for a long time and they will get their money as at when needed. They risk their funds because they see banks as safe and secured places.
