The National Union of Banks, Insurance, and Financial Institutions Employees (NUBIFIE) has issued a directive for all banks to suspend operations on Tuesday, September 5th, and Wednesday, September 6th, 2023.
In accordance with a statement that has been issued, this notice aligns with the decision of the Nigeria Labour Congress to embark on a two-day strike action. This decision was reached following the National Executive Council meeting (NEC) held on Thursday, August 31, 2023.
The statement, signed by Mohammed I. Sheikh, the General Secretary of the Union, stated;
“In line with the communique issued after the meeting of National Executive Council (NEC) of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) held on Thursday 31 August2023 that all affiliates should direct all its members to commence two days withdrawal of services from Tuesday & Wednesday the 5 & 6 September2023. The directive is imperative to get the needed attention of the government and warn it off its new found love of meddling in the internal affairs of unions rather than address the punishing economic circumstances we find ourselves in.
We hereby direct all our organs to comply with this directive by ensuring all our members stay off duties for the two days.”
