Biography
Folashade Adeyemo is a Lecturer in Law at University of Reading, UK
"...Providing a comprehensive historical background to the study, Dr Adeyemo examines the socio-political and economic context from which Nigerian banking regulatory approach developed. This contextualises for readers the backdrop for the discussion of the banking failures which plagued the country for decades and also the impact of the 2008 financial crisis on the banking sector."
– Dr Olufemi Amao, Reader in Law, Sussex University
"Dr Adeyemo has produced a fascinating and thought-provoking work which makes an important and original contribution to the subject of regulating banks in general, and by focusing on regulating banks in developing countries in particular… Sub-Saharan Africa provides the perfect backdrop for such a study. This book will be a major reference point for everyone with an interest in the regulation of banks. Those of us who have only focused on developed countries will learn much from reading about the issues faced by countries such as Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya."
– Professor Andrew Campbell, Emeritus Professor of International Banking and Financial Law, University of Leeds.
