The National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions Employees (NUBIFIE) has joined hands with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to highlight the severe economic challenges facing the nation.
In a circular dated September 2, 2023, signed by General Secretary Mohammed Sheikh and addressed to “All Zonal Councils/Domestic Committee,” NUBIFIE expressed its solidarity with the cause.
The bank employees cited their alignment with the communique issued following the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
The NLC executive committee convened last Thursday and directed all affiliate organizations to instruct their members to initiate a two-day withdrawal of services commencing today (Tuesday) and continuing through Wednesday.
The circular emphasized the urgency of this directive to bring the government’s attention to its recent interference in union affairs instead of addressing the challenging economic conditions faced by citizens.
The message to members urged them to comply with the directive by refraining from duty for the specified two days, underscoring the importance of their cooperation in this endeavor.
