INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The origin of banking in Nigeria date back to
the days of goldsmith in Venice and up till today personal services is still
the main of banks output for her customers.
Services is the central banks motto in the
distribution of its various production packages and marketing strategy
implementation. It is also the bulwark of the industry in the fact of stringent
government guideline and harsh monetary or fiscal policies. This is the view by
Oguntade Adekunle M, In business times issue at February, 2 by aggressive
marketing advertisement with the current
central banks director on deregulation of interest rate banks must work extremely hard to be able to
survive.
Moreover in Nigeria the economy has been largely exhibitive of
classic sellers market in all sectors. Until the recent past the country is
under banked and bank customers are require to accept consume of service
without question as in very sellers market. No wonder irojiegu achiever in his article of pricing of commercial bank
service in business time issue of July II pointed out that so many factor militate against rendering efficient
banking services in Nigeria such as under bank in Nigeria
Presently banking in Nigeria has become more competitive. Rage
Ani stated in business times issue of that as an effort to improve and provide
innovative service bank especially commercial bank must step in line with the
present trend in the bank market, the customers who are the ultimate target of
the bank should be satisfied.
Through delivery of service that satisfy the
need of the customers, the banks make
their profits. This fact d also the viewed
that human needs are insatiable under score the need for a study to
improve the services rendered to customers. The issue of efficient service in
banking industry has been given services in banking industry has been given
serious attention not only by the management.
The view is that commercial banks should
provide prompt, friendly, courteous, orderly efficient and satisfying service
to her customer in view of the firing, the relationship between bank and its
customer is contractual. The because banking is about trust. The customer
entrust their hard earned money with the banks for safe keeping here there is a
debtor agency and the customer is the creditor while the customer become the
debtor. Such a situation arises in case of advances or credit facilities to
customers. Yet many bank are known for their Shaw- ness. In transacting
business.
Long quaver with customers waiting for hours
to cash that cheques of deposit their money are common. To open as account. Is
characterized by some today some tomorrow and next week syndrome.
This is buttered in one of the national daily
newspaper last few years in the heat of WAEC registration. An employee who was
asking for two day casual leave to enable him purchase bank draft. Another a
bank customer carried a mat to the bank so as to sleep while waiting for his turn in the
crowded banking hall to cash to cash his
cheque. Yet another a bank customer was being turned around by section of
foreign exchange for him to exchange foreign currency. According to cyadzama
M.W in his chairman statement in the
allied bank annual report that customer are treated with lack of seriousness by
staff”.
They believe it is right to deliberately
delay customer as a result of their nonchalant attitude to work. It is always a
daily occurrence to hear abuses flowing from customer to bank staff ever the
protracted delay in completing bank transaction no wonder the chief of general
staff vice Admeral Augustine Aikhomu during his regime stressed the part while
addressing delegate during the 16th Anniversary of the Nigeria institute of
bankers he said that her one observe brought balance sheet which are not as a result of quality service emphasis mine
or growth stimulation but a resource to drastic shift inasset portfolio
characterized by more total avoidance of risk altogether.” That is why there is
a need for re- orientation in attitude of bank staff towards their customers.
Lest in the decade banking and the nations economic activities will certainly
become more complex and sophisticated.
In union bank plc garden Avenue Enugu on which the case study is focused the story
is not different. A brief mention of the origin of union bank Plc garden Avenue
Enugu will de. It is the largest branch of union bank of Nigeria plc south of the Nigeria. The manager banks with some
areas mangers of union bank of Nigeria Plc.

of two parties (staff and customer) are not satisfied with each other hence the
study.

Considering the uniqueness of the problem

great importance to: satisfaction of customer needs through improved

Nwankwo G.O expressed the position of the customer in such relationship. He
expressed that customer are the main reason of banks existence. In that bankers
