2. BACKGROUND
• Prolonged economic recession occasioned by the collapse of
the world oil market from the early 1980 and the attendant
sharp fall in foreign exchange earnings have adversely affected
economic growth and development in Nigeria. These and other
factors have resulted in fallen incomes and devalued standard
of living amongst Nigerians
• Experience has shown that industrial development in any
country provides the brightest hope for sustained growth,
employment generation, improved savings and investments
and indeed, economic development. There is no gainsaying
that industrialization determines the dividing line between
economically developed and the developing nations. Nigeria
now ranks very low on welfare scale. We have gradually slid
from a position in which Nigerians enjoyed higher standard of
living in the 1960s to a position where we now compete at the
lower rung of the ladder of less developed nations.

3. BACKGROUND CONT’D
• The Nigerian Industrial Sector which is the primary domain of BOI, is
faced by myriads of challenges and problems which have greatly
affected the pace of industrialization in the country and subsequently
economic growth and development.
• Based on the above, the Federal Government of Nigeria has tried to
intervene over the years in certain sectors of the economy to accelerate
the pace of industrialization and subsequently economic development.
• The intervention processes have been done by the Federal Government
using funds, policies or generally through providing enabling
environment.
• The various interventions are done through the use of its agencies such
as Central Bank of Nigeria, Bank of Industry, Bank of Agriculture,
NEXIM, SMEDAN amongst other MDAs. 3

4. THE ROLE OF BANK OF INDUSTRY

words, BOI was conceived to catalyze the transformation of the real sector.
• VISION
• Its vision is to be a leading self-sustaining Development Finance Institution,
operating under sound management and banking principles, that would promote
the emergence and development of a virile competitive industrial sector in
Nigeria.
• MISSION

global economy by providing financial and business support services to existing
and new industries to attain modern capabilities to produce goods that are

Intervention Fund

Challenges faced by Airlines and inconsistent power supply such as the under
listed necessitated the bail out Fund:
 Heavy debt burden of airline operators with commercial banks due to high cost
of fund in the acquisition of operating assets. i.e. Fund mismatch – using short
term loan to finance long term assets.
 High operational costs including finance charges incurred by airline operators
due to increase in various taxes and price of aviation fuel.
 poor living standard of the citizens through inconsistent power supply;
Without the intervention , the aviation sector would have become comatose with
obvious risk of considerable job loss and far reaching negative impact on the
economy.
Breakdown of Disbursement in terms of sector is as follows:.
Sector Number of
