Ebhodaghe (1991) has defined capital adequacy as a situation where the adjusted capital is sufficient to absorb all losses and cover fixed assets of the bank leaving a comfortable surplus for the current operation and future expansion. In fact, adequate capital is regarded as the amount of capital that can effectively protect bank operations from failure by absorbing losses. Moreover, the level of capital must be adjusted at the time when the total operational expenses and withdrawal needs are expected to increase (Onuh, 2002). According to Umoh (1991) adequate capitalization is an important variable in business and it is more so in the business of using other people’s money such as banking. It is further stated that insured banks must have enough capital to provide a cushion for absorbing possible losses or provide funds for its internal needs and for expansion, as well as ensure security for depositors and the depositor insurance system.On the other hand, Morrison and White (2001) stated that capital adequacy requirements are useful in restricting bank size to be small enough to avoid moral hazard problems. They also suggested that capital regulation can be looser in economies where accounting procedures are more transparent.
