CBN, Bankers’ Committee Reach Agreement To Halt Employees Sack

The Central Bank of Nigeria have suspended the ongoing staff layoffs by some banks in the country.

The apex bank said in a statement that the decision was taken after a special meeting of the Bankers’ Committee.

SaharaReporters had reported how a pregnant cashier at the Ketu branch of Access Bank collapsed on Saturday after hearing of her sack by the bank.

Access Bank had announced plans to sack its workers as a result of the negative impact of the Coronavirus outbreak.

According to the statement by the CBN Director of Corporate Communications, Mr Isaac Okoroafor, on Sunday, it was also agreed that banks would need the express approval of the apex bank to lay off any staff.  See Also Exclusive EXCLUSIVE: Pregnant Access Bank Cashier Collapses In Lagos After Receiving Sack Letter 0 Comments 1 Day Ago

The statement reads, “The committee particularly deliberated on the issue of the operating costs of banks in view of the disruptions emanating from the global economic difficulties.

“In order to help minimise and mitigate the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on families and livelihoods, no bank in Nigeria shall retrench or lay-off any staff of any cadre (including full-time and part-time).

“To give effect to the above measure, the express approval of the Central Bank of Nigeria shall be required in the event that it becomes absolutely necessary to lay-off any such staff.

“The Central Bank of Nigeria solicits the support of all in our collective effort to weather through the economic challenges occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.”  See Also Jobs My Fiancee Broke Into Tears, Sacked Access Bank Cashier Billed To Wed In June Says 0 Comments 1 Day Ago

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase.

Galadima, an ardent critic of President Muhammadu Buhari, claimed that he did not borrow money or have unpaid debt with Unity Bank, which lodged a complaint against him and occasioned AMCON’s move on Tuesday. The properties taken over include House No. 15, Addis Ababa Crescent, Wuse Zone 4, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and House No. 4, Bangui Street, Wuse 2, also in Abuja.  Reacting to the situation, Galadima said, “This is an attempt to disgrace and break me down.

We will remain on the streets. We will remain on the streets until God provi
