\n
\nHundreds of bank customers in Anambra state who went to transact
\nbusiness on Monday following easing relaxation in the state after
\nseveral weeks of COVID-19 lockdown have suffered untold hardship.<\/p>\n

Our reporter who visited some of banks in Awka, the state capital and
\nenvirons reported that there were no social distancing, and most of the
\ncustomers could not gain access into the banking halls to transact
\nbusinesses.<\/p>\n

Most of them who were stranded and frustrated for hours expressing
\nworries.<\/p>\n

Some of them queued outside the banks’ gates to wait for their turns
\ntrying to gain access into the banking halls, while some sitting in the
\ncanopies provided for them in the premises to cool off could not adduce
\nthe reasons for such ill treatments.<\/p>\n

The bank officials as well as the security men at the entrance gates and
\nbusy trying to ensure orderliness by the customers could not provide
\nimmediate answers.<\/p>\n

Mr Clement Uche, one of the frustrated customers said he was as early as
\n8:15 am at the Access Bank PLC at Nnamdi Azikiwe Avenue, Awka and has
\nwaited for three and half hours at the entrance gate of the bank without
\nsuccess.<\/p>\n

The retiree with six children and bread winner of the family said he had
\nmade several efforts to gain access into the banking halls but was
\nfrustrated and did not know what to do again.<\/p>\n

He said he had no other means of withdrawing money from the bank except
\nthrough his\u00a0 saving account\u00a0 cheque.<\/p>\n

Madan Alice Okafor, a garri seller who was in another bank said she
\ncannot make purchases because she was owing many of her creditors who
\nsold goods to her before and during the lockdown.<\/p>\n

“I was happy when the state government announced the re-opening of
\nmarkets, what will I do now, I have been here for hours and could the
\nlittle money I have in my bank,” she said.<\/p>\n

The story was the same in other banks visited.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Management of Access Bank Plc has finally broken its
\nsilence on the leaked video by the bank’s Group Managing Director\/Chief
\nExecutive Officer, Herbert Wigwe, in which he disclosed that the
\nfinancial institution would soon embark on a mass sack of workers as
\nwell as pay cut and branch closures as part of efforts to survive in the
\npost-Coronavirus era.<\/p>\n

Access Bank in a statement released over the weekend by the Corporate
\nCommunications Department justified the decision, insisting that those
\npenciled don for sack are “outsourced staff such as cleaners,
\nmessengers, dispatch riders, note counters, drivers etc.<\/p>\n

However, mass sacking in banks have been averted by the Central Bank of
\nNigeria (CBN) which had directed that
\nno bank worker, whether permanent or temporary, will be sacked due to
\nthe economic slump occasioned by the current coronavirus pandemic, it
\nwas learnt yesterday.<\/p>\n

The assurance came from the Central Bank of Nigeria |(CBN) and the
\nBankers ‘ Committee after their meeting.<\/p>\n

This came amid earlier warning by the Federal Government to employers
\nagainst sacking workers during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

The Committee’s decision followed a “Special Meeting,” held on Saturday,
\nwhich was taken to “help minimise and mitigate the negative impact of
\nthe COVID19 pandemic on families and livelihoods.”<\/p>\n

Specifically, the Bankers’ Committee, an umbrella body of CBN officials
\nand managing directors of deposit money banks (DMBs), had warned that
\n“no bank in Nigeria shall retrench or lay-off any staff of any cadre
\n(including full-time and part-time).”<\/p>\n

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, had on May Day,
\nsaid: “Employers will not be encouraged to disengage staff without
\nprerequisite social dialogue and clearance from the Federal Ministry of
\nLabour and Employment.”<\/p>\n

Recall that amid speculations of mass sack in the banking industry, and
\nothers sectors in the economy, the Trade Union Congress (TUC), had on
\nThursday, urged the Federal Government to protect workers from “some
\nuncharitable employers,” who planned to make workers victims of
\nCOVID-19.<\/p>\n

Consequently, the Federal Government had warned employers against
\nsacking workers during the lockdown without prerequisite social dialogue
\nand clearance from the Ministry of Labour and Employment.<\/p>\n

In agreement with the government, the Committee also stated: “The
\nexpress approval of the Central Bank of Nigeria shall be required in the
\nevent that it becomes absolutely necessary to lay-off any such staff.”<\/p>\n

In a statement yesterday, the CBN and the Bankers Committee said its
\ndecision came after a “further review of the implications of the
\nCOVID-19 pandemic on the Nigerian banking industry.”<\/p>\n

It added that this is even as the Committee is not unmindful of “the
\nissue of the operating costs of banks in view of the disruptions
\nemanating from the global economic difficulties,” while the CBN solicits
\n“the support of all in our collective effort to weather through the
\neconomic challenges occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.”<\/p>\n

The Committee’s decision comes amid controversies over the alleged
\ndecision to close over 300 branches of Access Bank nationwide by the
\nmanagement via video conferencing in a town hall meeting with the staff.<\/p>\n

It’s Managing Director\/Chief Executive, Herbert Wigwe, was quoted to
\nhave said the decision, which will involve mass retrenchment, was in a
\nbid to reduce operating costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which could
\naffect about 75 per cent of the staff, most of whom are outsourced and
\nare offering “non-essential services.”<\/p>\n

But this was vehemently denied by the bank’s spokesperson, Abdul Imoyo,
\nwho noted that the branches had already been closed from the onset of
\nthe COVID-19 lockdown. He said: “This is not correct. Branches were
\nclosed at the onset of the COVID-19 lockdown. As the structure of the
\nlockdown has been relaxed, the branches will be reopened in a phased
\napproach, and with adherence to physical distancing guidelines.<\/p>\n

“We advised the public when we closed over 540 branches (60 left to
\noperate) in response to our business continuity plan for a crisis of
\nthis nature. This was further buttressed by Lagos State and subsequently
\nthe Federal Government’s stay at home or work from home order.”<\/p>\n

Reacting on the Bankers’ Committee’s directive, Professor of Finance and
\nCapital Markets at the Nasarawa State University, Keffi, and former
\nCommissioner for Finance Imo State, Uche Uwaleke, described this as a
\nwelcome development.He told The Guardian: “The decision is a welcome
\ndevelopment in order not to create hardships for workers in that sector
\nconsidering that government’s COVID-19 mitigation measures are geared
\ntowards protecting jobs.<\/p>\n

“In any case, the agreement was reached with the Bankers Committee. So,
\nI expect that the CBN and the CEOs of banks must have worked out ways to
\ncushion the rising costs of bank operations and liquidity challenges
\noccasioned by the pandemic.<\/p>\n

“In addition to the forbearance package already extended to Deposit
\nMoney Banks by the apex Bank, I want to bet that the CBN’s MPC will
\nreduce the Cash Reserve Ratio from the current 27.5 per cent when the
\nmembers meet later this month.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Association of Senior Staff of Banks, Insurance and
\nFinancial Institutions (ASSBIFI), had earlier disclosed of plans to
\nwrite to the banks tomorrow on the issue of possible lay-offs, which has
\nnow been overtaken by the Committee’s warning.<\/p>\n

A former ASSBIFI President, Oyinkan Olasanoye, had told The Guardian
\nthat while the union envisaged possible branch closures and salary cuts,
\nit would however resist any lay-off without negotiations.<\/p>\n

She said: “We will write them officially on Monday on the news making
\nthe rounds. We are still making our investigations.”We have discussed
\nwith the Minister of Labour and NECA. We know there would be job losses
\nbut due process must be followed. If they are closing their branches and
\ntransferring them to other branches, we have no problem with that, but
\nif they are shutting down their branches and asking the workers to go,
\nwe will not accept that.<\/p>\n

“COVID-19 is nobody’s fault. You can’t just close now and tell people to
\ngo home. I know that it will have implications but it shouldn’t be
\nimmediate.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
