1.0 INTRODUCTION
A commercial bank asset management is never ending leg of war. This war is pitched between efficient liquidity management on one hand and profitability on the other.
A liquidity and profitability are two inherent goals in commercial banks, bank managers will continue to experience conflict of trying to provide efficient mechanism of addressing their banks liquidity and hence their safety is necessarily arising from the nature of their liabilities.
A high proportion of commercial bank liabilities are made up of demand deposits (current account) savings account, fried deposits and funds from other sources. Demand deposit are those banks liabilities that are payable on demand.
Necessarily, commercial banks need to keep only highly liquid assets to meet any conceivable volume of withdrawal. Liquidity assets can little or zero return on assets, it is less risky and the less it is likely to yield adequate returns. As such, the higher the less risky assets, the more the bank is exposed to experience a bank run or crisis. At the rate, banks will probably not be able to cover all its cost and also make profit for the owners.
Commercial banks are business-oriented firms with shareholders interested on profitability. In order to satisfy its shareholders, a bank might be tempted to forget liquidly and pursue profitability by investing only on high yielding less liquid assets that is achieving profitability at the expense of liquidity which is dangerous. It is always necessary to balance liquidity and profitability in order to have efficient bank management.
The ratio or percentage of idle cash balances commercial banks are to hold at any point in time and in what form to hold at any point in time and in what form to hold it is very necessary. It should be borne in their minds the importance of satisfactory level of profit.
There are many constraints to banks in achieving their goals of liquidity and profitability such as legal reserve requirement but they should maintain adequate liquidity to meet unforeseen and seasonal loan demand and fluctuation of deposits. Cash reserves are also needed to take advantage of unexpected profitability investment opportunities.
In effect, banks are constrained and have to on a tight “rope”. That is the never-ending tug-of war or what I may refer as delima facing commercial bank managers in developing countries. The Nigeria case is further aggravated by the inconsistency of monetary policy as administered by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). It is reminiscent of a military coup de tat, you will just wake up one morning and hear over the radio or through circular no xy2 that the Central Bank of Nigeria has issued a monetary circular number … adjusting the prevailing rate whether upwards or downwards.
The Federal Government directive of withdrawing all federal owned parastatals accounts from commercial banks is one of such constraints. The shocks stirred up aggressive marketing in the banking industry.
Although all these shocks are necessary to produce the desired effect of controlling money supply in the economy level such tends to give nightmare to bank management. These directives causes ripples in its banking industry as such cause more discrepancies in the liquidity position of commercial banks and subsequently the rate of profitability.
The research objective here is to look into the liquidity management in Nigeria with more emphasis on their investment liquidity and profitability positions. The researcher will try to find out why commercial banks need to be more liquid than any other business organization, what methods/techniques banks employ to solve the liquidity profitability dilemma is the concern of this work.
This study will look at the effectiveness and management of their profile by employing and using various approaches, theories and instruments in solving their liquidity profitability problems. The various commercial banks investment outlets leg loan and advances, investment in treasury kills, treasury certificates, call money, bankers unit fund, equity participation on small and medium scale firms, etc and the degree of the liquidity of such investment shall be examined.
At the same time, the researcher will take critical look at the assets profile management of commercial banks with a view to determining of there is a defined relationship between the rate of profitability and liquidity.
Finally, I wish to identify why Nigeria commercial banks are excessively liquid but at the same time make high profit.
The importance of liquidity management in the banking industry cannot be over emphasized. Since not much contribution was made on the topic, liquidity management, the researcher will carefully consider those factors relevant to efficient liquidity management for a successful achievement of the desired profitability.
It is hoped that the result obtained from the study will benefit management of commercial banks, non-bank financial institutions, business enterprises, students of accounting, banking & finance and other related business.
Readers of this study/work will be emposed as regards the imput of future study. The basis of this research work is the position of liquidity of Nigeria commercial banks as a determinant of profitability.

In the study this nature which involves the analysis of commercial banks statements, qualification of their investment and degree of their data available and its type obviously limit the extent and scope of the analysis.
This study is concentrated in one selected commercial bank in Enugu Urban the researcher will examine how this commercial bank efficiently carry out their portfolio management in the following areas:
The lending pattern of Nigeria Commercial Banks to various sectors of the economy will be critically examined, the nature of this loans opportunity and an appraisal of the steps commercial banks take to recover their debts when customers default in their loan repayment agreement.
In this research, the management of commercial banks assets/liabilities will be discussed. The review of some liquidity and profitability, theories will be carried on it, the management of the asset and liabilities which means the sources of fund (liabilities and uses of fund (assets). The sources from widely funds are acquired and the uses to which they are put can be found in the balance sheet of a bank.
The tools employed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in controlling banks. Liquidity position will be looked into, and the extent to which commercial banks adhere to the guidelines issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
This research work is limited to commercial banks; fund management and the components and portfolio management of their assets.
This study is carried out purely as an academic exercise and therefore could neither receive any financial package from governmental or financed by any private enterprise/organization. The limited resources of the researcher constrained the study.
The researcher found it difficult to obtain official information and data relevant to the study from the banks due to banks oath of securely and fear.
12. Trading on Equity: This is a situation whereby a firm earns more with borrowed fund than what it cost to borrow the fund.
