1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Managing an economy entails articulate, well meaning strategies and devising various policies and measures that ensure efficient utilization of nation resources with a view to promoting economic growth and a bank is considered liquid when it has asset and investment in security that are easily reliable at a short notice without a loose to the bank together with the ability to raise find from the other source to enable it to meet its payment obligation and maintaining domestic and external sector stability.
Liquidity management of a commercial bank is a very vital issue in the banking industry. It is the ability of a bank to manage its liquidity position so that neither the liquidity nor the profitable will suffer. There has occurred shift from a region of passive government intervention in various markets towards greater reliance on market face in the allocation of goods, services and financial resources.
In creating or operating current economic policy like; monetary fiscal policy, reserved ratio and liquidity ratio etc. Therefore conscious effect have been taken made by the monetary authority to generally separate the various controls which formed the basic past economic policies have made worth wide. The system of control on the prices of commodities has since ended and interest rates have been totally deregulated while the market for foreign exchange has been in operation since 1986.
The role of the monetary and financial sector in promoting the rapid development of the real sector of the economy cannot be over – emphasized as apse of the economy financial system, the central bank of Nigeria (CBN) has had to shoulder increasing responsibility in develop not only a sound monetary and financial system but also actively advancing the development objective of the federal government. Therefore, the central bank of Nigeria is a macro institution where activities affecting the nation economic life in the conduct of monetary management.
However, the commercial bank of Nigeria face same challenges in measure with the required standard of central bank which monetary, credit and fiscal policy. The problem of excess liquidity and excessive expansion of bank credit and inadequate financial infrastructure in the adoption of indirectly approach monetary control.

- The improvement of the functioning of the economy by restraining demand and inflationary price increase imposing real cost on society.
- To identify why Nigeria banks are excessively liquid and at the same time make high profit.
Nevertheless, monetary authorities are not free to deal with these objectives separately but are required to pursue them simultaneously and this makes their task very difficult. There are economic objectives that can be mutually re-enforcing that the attainment of the others.
