Banks in Nigeria have announced a nationwide strike that will last for two days.
The strike, scheduled for September 5 and 6, 2023, is in response to the federal government’s interference in trade unions instead of focusing on economic issues.
The National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institution Employees (NUBIFIE) issued the directive, stating that it aligns with the strike notice issued by the Nigeria Labour Congress.
“In line with the communique issued after the meeting of National Executive Council (NEC) of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) held on Thursday 31st August 2023 that all affiliates should direct all its members to commence two days’ withdrawal of services from Tuesday & Wednesday the 5th & 6th September, 2023,” the NUBIFIE strike notice said.
NUBIFIE emphasized the importance of drawing attention to the government’s actions and addressing the challenging economic circumstances.
They called on all members to comply with the directive and stay off duty for the duration of the strike.
