The introduction of banking system emerged in 1891 but centrally started in 1892, when the ACB Bank was managed by colonial master, there was a lot of disparity in employment and given out loan to Nigerians. The Nigerian citizen objected to that and formed their own bank which was ruined by poor management. Fraud, inadequate capital and other problems Adeniyi P.O (1998).
In 2006, the Nigerian government commenced the implementation of a structural adjustment programme (SAP), which entailed liberalization and deregulation of the Nigeria economy. As a result, the numbers of bank increased phenomenally from 48 in 1988 to 120 in 1990. the development triggered competition as well as increase in the risk to which bank depositors were exposed to, which now led to the introduction of a Deposit Insurance Scheme (DIS) in Nigeria? Through the enactment of Act 22 of 1988 which established the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), the Agent vested with responsibility of implementing the system in the country. The NDIC commence operation in March 1989. The scheme was introduced to provide a further layer of protection to depositors and complement the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) supervisory activities in ensuring a safe and sound banking system. The DIS in Nigeria like most other explicit scheme, has specified maximum insured sum a clearly defined ex-grant, funding arrangement and a specified administrative structure participation in the scheme is compulsory for all licensed deposit taking financial institutions while the implementing agency is owned by government. The implementing agency NDIC also has responsibilities for monitoring the health of the insured institution as well as the risk exposure of the deposit insurance fund (DIF) and providing an orderly indicated in the corporation enabling law.

The researcher encountered the following constraints in the research work’
- Sourcing of Data: Due to the nature of insurance job it was quite difficult to get managers and other higher senior officers to answer the research questions and to give information as related to this research work.
- Previous Research Work: Another factors that limited further research on this topic was death of previous research work on the related topic.
- Bad behaviour of the respondents during the period of the research work.
- Time: The researcher limitation to this study is the time factor needed to get the information for the research work has been a problem.
- Money: money is scarce for everybody let alone a student who is not working which also contributed to the impediment but something must be achieved at the end.
- Lack of response: The respondents during personal interview could not co-operate were conscious of letting out company secrets.
