INTRODUCTION

1.1   BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

The general view of managing conflict in an organization such as Union Bank of Nigeria Plc, the principles and sub-structures of the organisation are designed to provide the necessary vertical and horizontal links and inter-relationship that ensure the maximum potential for communication and understanding. Therefore, two parties must be involved in every existing organisation and for the survival and effectiveness of the organisation. The employer and the employee must cooperate to work together for the attainment of that organisational goal. Though in spite of the strong desire that exist among the parties, there are some problems that mar arise and these can result to conflict among them.

Between 1959 and 1970, fifty new branches were established. In 1969 the bank was legally incorporated in Nigeria as a wholly owned subsidiary of Barclays Bank International limited. The ownership structure remained unchanged until 1971 when 8.33% of the banks shares were offered to Nigerians. In the same year, the bank was listed on the Nigerian stock exchange. As a result of the Nigerian enterprises promotion decree of 1972, the Federal Government of Nigerian acquired 51.67% of the banks shares which left Barclays bank plc London with only 46%.

A landmark in the bank history occurred in 1979 when Barclays Bank sold 50% of its shareholding in the bank to Nigerians. This resulted in the change of the banks name to reflect its new image holding of Barclays Bank was disposed off in 1989. Today, Union bank is the oldest independent non – government banking institutes that are 100% owned and wholly managed by Nigerians. In 1986, it becomes the first bank in Nigerian to hit billion marks in savings deposits and in 1997, its saving deposits of N21.5 billion was also on industrial record.
