Employees of Nigerian banks are set to participate in a two-day strike action organized by the National Union of Banks, Insurance, and Financial Institutions Employees (NUBIFIE). The strike will take place on September 5th and 6th, 2023.
This decision aligns with the resolution of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) following their National Executive Council (NEC) meeting on August 31st, 2023. In a statement issued by the General Secretary of NUBIFIE, Mohammed I. Sheikh, the directive reads:
“As per the communique issued subsequent to the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on August 31, 2023, which called for a two-day withdrawal of services on September 5th and 6th, 2023, we hereby instruct all our affiliated members to observe this strike action. This action is essential to draw the government’s attention and discourage its interference in union matters, rather than addressing the challenging economic conditions we currently face.
We urge all our affiliates to comply with this directive and ensure that our members refrain from work for the specified two days.”
