This period saw the establishment of the Barclay’s bank domination with others. Although many later fails such as the industrial and commercial bank the Nigeria merchandise bank etc.

Today the Union Bank Plc has emerged as the leader in the banking sector in Nigeria with both the largess number of shareholder and the greater asset base.  Even in the face of the unfavourabe business atmosphere and crunching policy the bank has defined all to lead the column of both the new generation bank and its contemporaries.
