Finance is a major key element in fostering growth and development of a company and financial managers look mainly to the money and capital market for various term frmds. The Nigerian money market has lagged behind in performing its intermediation role in providing such needed frmds to the companies thus, limiting their operations.

Secondary data were used and the multiple regression econometric technique was used to analyze the data.

Since, the money market is very vital for financial managers to raise short-term funds, amongst others the study recommends that to improve the money market there should be adequate monitoring and smveillance of the activities of the market participants and also the introduction of new and flexible financial instruments.
