Few Nigeria banks are currently ranked among the world’s top 400, according to The Banker magazine of the Financial Times Group, London.

The President, Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), Mr. Segun Aina, is of the opinion that Nigerian banks can do better and that they have what it takes to be ranked among the top 100 in the world.
