1.0 Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

The money market in our economy in a very vital sector and its position in the economy cannot be over emphasized. The money market in Nigeria was fashioned along with that of britain, established and nurtured by the CBN primarily for mobilizing domestic savings for productive investment as well as providing the government with funds to enable it implement its economic programmes.

Money market as an intermediary for short term financial assets that are close substitute for money consists of the CBN, Deposit money bank, Discount house, corporate bodies, individuals, finance companies Bureaux de change as its major operators and deals on various financial instrument such as bills, certificates, commercial papers, certificate of deposit etc which one transferable and desirable in nature.

Notwithstanding, the recent global economic meltdown which tends to set a disjunction between the surplus and the deficit sectors, the surplus sector appears not to be interested in lending to the deficit sector, this pose a serious bottleneck to the proper functioning of the money market, thereby reducing the level of investment in the economy. The logic question now is what would be the lot of Nigerian economic and its inhabitants in general.

The link between the deficit and the surplus sectors of any economy is very important, if the link does not exist, the surplus sectors will have excess funds which will probably be held as idle balances instead of investing such funds to earn interest. Conversely, people in the deficit sectors who can invest profitably may not be able to do so because of lack of fund. Though both of them will be losing but it is the economy that sustains the height loss as economic growth and development is hampered due to low level of investment arising from poor capital formation. This will initial a problem, the question now is what will be the lot of Nigerian economy and its inhabitant in general. There is need therefore, to evaluate the role of the Nigeria money market in the national development of the country.

1.2 Statement of Problem

The Nigerian money market is two, which can be broadly classified into primary market and secondary market. Primary market is a market where new securities are issued. According to Anyafo ( 2004 ) , primary market is a segment of money market where securities are first issued and i t is sometimes refers to as the new issues market, securities sold in the primary market being launched into the market for the first time. In other words, i t is a market for buying and selling of virgin securities. Examples of primary market are issuing house.

Secondary Market is a market for trading for existing securities. In other words, secondary market is a re- sale market where investors buy and sell previously issued securities which Emekekwue ( 2000 ) in fun referred to as bend- down boutique. Example of secondary market includes Nigeria stock exchange, the activities of brokers and dealers.

The money market is not void of problems: the limited numbers of available instruments traded in the market were discriminated in favour of large firms; the problems of unclaimed dividends among others have been able to hinder or draw back the swift/ function of the money market in Nigeria. Also, considering the underdeveloped state of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, what could be done to position it strongly as its western counter parts. Thus, the study focuses, on the assessing the role of money market towards the national development of the Nigeria economy.

1.3 Research Objectives

The objectives of the study includes:

1. To ascertain the role of the capital market towards the growth of the Nigerian economy.

   H0: The role of the Nigerian capital market is not to mobilize long term funds, create wealth and generate employment.
2. H1: The role played by the Nigerian secondary market is buying and re- selling of previously issued securities.
   H0: The role played by the Nigeria secondary market is not buying and re- selling previously issued securities.

1.6 Significance of the Study

This research work is carried out to reveal the vital role of a sound money market system in relation to maintaining an efficient and dynamic financial sector.

These works will also be of great help and benefit to other sectors, both public and private sector. I strongly believe that the management of Nigeria money market will use the findings of this research work to equip themselves with appropriate checks and control that are necessary for the development of an enviable financial system. Prospective investor, promoters and shareholders would as well find this study very useful it will serve as an eye opener on what it takes to invest in the money market.

It was found that money market has much benefit to present to the economic and the nation at large.If this sector must complete favourably with other similar sector in other economy (country) and the country boasting of a sound financial system.

Also, regulatory instruments used by the regulatory authorities to manage these sectors should be that which contributes towards its development and growth.

Finally, operators and regulators should be enlightened of the role played by this vital sector and the market should also be embrace despite all odds its may present.

5.2 Conclusion

The Nigerian money market has strong impact on the Nigerian economic society. The money market is a good place for long- term capital generation thus, has a strong impact on industrial development of the economy.
In line with Anyanwu and Nwokoro (2007) it was found that a well developed money market is comparatively efficient in the sense that it is responsive to changes in demand for and supply of funds in any of its segments.

Also, the management of money market should be in the hand of qualified personnel so as to ensure that its objectives are achieved.

1. The Securities and Exchange Commission should assure the payment of dividend to shareholders.
