INTRODUCTION
In the history of Nigeria, most of the
Governments at one time or the other and also the articulate members of the
public have recognized the growing need of Urban infrastructure Development in
Nigeria. This can easily be inferred from the alarming rate of urbanization in
Nigeria. Over the past few years and they continued deteriorating State of
Urban environment and the numerous attendants problems.
The background to the setting up of the Urban
Development Bank of Nigeria PLC can be traced to the preparation of the third
National Development Plan in 1974-75. At that period, Urban problems were
becoming very visible and important that the ten Federal Government had to set
up a Federal Ministry of Urban development and environment. This ministry had
to scrapped about three years after due to the inability of the ministry to
properly execute its orations, as a result of the failure of conceptualisation of
what should be the mission of the ministry.
In appreciation of the necessity to redress
the situation of deteriorating various
state of our Urban environments, some various committees had been set up of government to look into the matter
adequate.
These committees came up with various reports
and proposals gave rise to the
establishment in 1997 of the Nigeria State Urban Development Programme (NSUDP)
for the purpose of reducing the acute shortage of accommodation in the then
newly created States of Bauch, Benue, Gongola, Imo, Niger, Ogun and Ondo. But
it was soon realized that the programme
was not capable of adequately handling the programme of Urban Development.
As a result of this inadequately, the
infrastructure Development fund (IDF) was introduced in 1985 as a replacement
for the Nigeria State Urban Development programmes. The infrastructure Development
fund (IDF) was introduced and soon ran into troubled water in order to find a
permanent or lasting solution to the problem, Government accepted the proposal
of developing a financial structure based on local initiatives and resources
for Urban development with increased value of financial discipline. Hence, the
Urban Development Bank of Nigeria Plc was established under Decree No. 51 of 1992, better known as
the Urban Development Bank of Nigeria Decree of 1992.
In conclusion, the urban development bank of
Nigeria Plc was established and charged
within the promotion and development of urban centers through the provision of
financial credit on a long term braise to States, Local Government and private
sectors for the purpose of the Urban project and financing.
The bank is expected to finance project on
Urban infrastructure, Urban Renewal, Economic Development project, social
projects and Institution Development.
