1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
One of the most important aspects of macro economics is monetary policy which is being used as a tool to determine aggregate and average figures in the economy.

For most economics like Nigeria, the objectives of monetary policy include price stability, maintenance of balance of payment, equilibrium, promotion of employment and output growth and sustainable development.
These objectives are necessary for the attainment of internal and external balance and promotion of long run economic growth (Bright 2000:10).
