This paper provides a historical review of the ownership structure of Nigerian banks from the beginning of banking activities in the country in 1894 to the present. It shows that the ownership structure has both influenced changes in the institutional and legal framework and has also been influenced by them. The paper also analysed some of the implications of the changing structure of ownership and offered some recommendations.
