Bank Of Industry: Conditions And Procedures In Applying For A Loan

The Bank of Industry Limited (BOI) is regarded as Nigeria’s oldest, largest and most successful development financing institution. It was rejuvenated in 2001 out of the Nigerian Industrial Development Bank (NIDB) Limited, which was incorporated in 1964 after Nigeria Independence. The bank took off in 1964 with an authorized share capital of 2 million (GBP), which as at that period has just the Barclays Bank Now First Bank Of Nigeria FBN to contend with.

The International Finance Corporation which produced its pioneer Chief Executive held 75% of its equity along with a number of domestic and foreign private investors. Although the bank’s authorized share capital was initially set at N50 billion in the wake of NIDB’s reconstruction into BOI in 2001, it has been increased to 250 billion in order to put the bank in a better position to address the nation’s rising economic profile in line with its mandate.

After a successful institutional, operational and financial restructuring programme embarked upon in 2002, the bank has transformed into an efficient, focused and profitable institution that is well placed to effectively carry out its primary objective of providing long term financial Assistance to the industrial sector of the Nigerian Economy.
