Nigerian Banks have stirred reactions on social media after announcing that they are set to embark on a two-day nationwide strike from Tuesday, September 5th.
In a memo dated 2nd September, the banks said financial services would be withdrawn on September 5 and 6, 2023.
The National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institution Employees (NUBIFE) gave the directive signed by the union’s General Secretary, Mohammed I. Sheikh.
The memo noted that the directive complied with the strike notice issued by the Nigeria Labour Congress on August 31.
