ABSTRACT
This research work was undertaken to assess the credit control in deposit money banks (Union bank of Nigeria plc). This work was intended to achieve the following objectives; to determine and appraise the lending procedure of banks with the view of highlighting the effectiveness and adequacy of credit control policy of Nigerian deposit money banks in reducing the occurrence and consequences of non-performing loans; to determine whether loan/fund diversion have any effect on non-performing and also ascertain the effect of the prudential guidelines in deposit money banks specifically Union bank plc; to highlight the extent to which improper project evaluation influence non-performing in Union bank plc. Relevant data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. Questionnaire was the main primary data collected instrument employed while data from various relevant publications constitute the sources of secondary data. Upon the analysis of data, the following conclusions were drawn; that inadequate collateral security provided by borrowers causes non-performing loans and also that improper project evaluation leads to incidence of loan diversion. It was recommended that deposit money banks(union bank plc) should based their lending decision less on quantitative data but more on principles too subjective to provide sound and unbiased judgment.

INTRODUCTION
- BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In a modern economy, there is distinction between the surplus economic units and the deficit economic units. This has necessitated the existence of financial institution whose jobs include the transfer of funds from savers to investors. One of such institution is the deposit money banks.
The intermediating roles of the deposit money banks places them is a position of “Trustees” since it saved the widely dispersed surplus economic units and also determining the rate and shape of the economy. The deposit money banks should employ techniques in its intermediating functions which will provide them with perfect knowledge of the outcomes of lending such that funds will be allocated to investors, in which the probability of full payment is certain. However, in practice on such tools can be found in the decision of the lending institutions, virtually all lending decision are made under creditors on uncertainty.
