Nigeria’s banking sector often looks strong on paper. It resembles a fleet of luxury yachts anchored beside a sinking canoe. Executives announce record profits, shareholders celebrate, and balance sheets expand. Yet beyond the boardrooms, millions of citizens and small businesses face a very different reality. Credit is scarce, charges are high, and many productive sectors struggle for finance. Banks are thriving, but the economy they are meant to support remains under strain.
