CHAPTER ONE
1.1       INTRODUCTION
            Organizational policy derives from and is meant to guide the work of managers.  Consequently, there is the need to keep its dissension within the context of this background.  This will facilitate understanding as it underscores its importance.  Management has been defined as the process of getting things done by the through others (Hicks and Gullet, 1981) others see it as the process by which organizations resources of men, material and money are combined in such a way that the goals and objectives of the organization are realized in an effective and efficient manner (Akpala 1990) said that mangers are those who are in the helm of affairs of any organization.
            They ensure that the goals and objectives of the group are realized using the resources of the organization.  Following the above discussion, there are two classes of person in organization.  They are operatives on the one land and managers on the other operatives are those who do the jobs.  For instance, doctor who treat patients, accountants that keep books, teachers who impact knowledge etc managers one those who direct and supervisor the work of the top operatives.
            Consequently, the work of managers is different from the work of operatives.  Managers perform what are called managerial functions and they include planning, organizing, directing and controlling.
A careful examination of these functions will reveal the process of decision making inherent in them.  Decision-making is thus seen as the key to the effective performance of managerial functions and by extension the work of management.  Decision-making, which is defined as the process of making judgement after all, the alternatives are considered, therefore becomes central in the life and work of managers.  To further give credence to this background, Thomas (1976) defines organizational policy as the study of the nature and process of choice as to independent enterprises by those upon whom falls the responsibility of decision making.  Three broad issues, which constitute the focus of organizational policy, become apparent here.  The first is the climate to be made.  The spectrum of choices to made ranges from diversification through growth to even the extreme situation of ceasing to exist.  The next issue borders on the process of making the choices.  This has to do with the standard treatment within organization and its continued interface with its environment.  And finally is the decision makers themselves.
Analysis of the forces that impact on their decision-making ability will have to be carefully undertaken.
1.2       BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY           
FIRST BANK OF NIGERIA: AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW
In the early 1890s, Elder Dempster Limited set up a small cash agency to cater, in 1894, the bank of British West Africa Limited was formed to take over the cash agency and to provide full banking services.  Later, branches were opened in the Gambia, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast (No Ghana), Nigeria and Cameroon.  In 1959, as tractions because self-governing, the name was changed to Bank to West Africa Limited.
Few years later, it was found that west Africa was developing so rapidly that bank was scarcely big enough to provide the huge sums of money required for the task of nation buildings.  It was therefore arranged that Bank Limited.  London would form one way large bank so that all Africa could benefit from their combined resources and so in 1966, the name of the bank was changed to Standard Bank of West Africa Ltd.  This merger created a group of Banks in Africa with over 1,000 branches and more than 20,000 staff.
Later the Standard Bank became a member of a group with branches in Africa, simple the middle and Far East and America.  In 1969, the Nigerian operation set up a Head office in Lagos upon incorporation as a Nigerian company its name being changed to Standard Bank Nigeria Limited.
In 1979, the name again changed to First Bank of Nigeria Limited to reflect the ownership structure of the bank.  After federal government’s divestment in 1992, the bank became a public liability company – plc.
On 30th January 1993, the federal government purchased majority shareholding in the bank, which therefore became a Nigerian bank, but it remained associated with standard chartered group.  The resultant shareholding was as follows:
Federal government of Nigeria 44%, standard chartered 39%, other Nigerians 17%.
However, the federal government shareholding in the bank was sold to the public in December 1992. The resultant shareholding structure them became Nigerian public 61% and standard chartered group had to reduced its holding to 10% in 1994 to conform to the British government policy of not having a large holding in a foreign company.  The shareholding structure now is 100% Nigerian.
1.3       STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

One of the problems facing implementation of organizational policies is the inability of many organizational to draw up policies that are capable of standing the task of time.
Another problem facing implementation of organizational policies is the incomplete, haphazard and uncoordinated manner by which most good policies are implemented in Nigerian organizations.
Bureaucracy and unnecessary delays are problems facing implementation of organizational policies.  This is recipient in government owned organizations where implementations of policies are based on what government officials get not them.  The last problem facing the implementation of organizational policies in Nigerian organization is that most managers saddled with implementation of thee policies do not posses the necessary qualification and experience to experience the task they are saddled with.
