The National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions Employees (NUBIFIE) has taken decisive action against Heritage Bank by shutting down its head office in Lagos.

This move comes in response to the bank’s management’s recent mass sacking of over 1000 personnelMwithout following due process.

NUBIFIE vowed to continue picketing the bank’s premises until the management addressed the grievances of the sacked workers and ensured they received their rightful severance packages.

The aggrieved ex-staff members have barricaded the entrance gate, preventing access to and from the bank’s head office at 143 Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Earlier reports had revealed that Heritage Bank, under the leadership of Mr. Akinola George-Taylor, had forcefully terminated the employment of over 70 senior staff members within one year of his tenure.

Additionally, numerous other employees were allegedly coerced into resigning, exacerbating the bank’s internal crisis. Most concerning was the lack of payment for accrued entitlements and allowances owed to the affected staff.

Sources disclosed that the bank’s chief executive officer instigated the internal turmoil in a bid to purge the institution of individuals suspected to be loyal to certain board members.

This purge was reportedly part of a broader scheme to consolidate power and control over the bank, with the backing of a prominent shareholder seeking sole ownership and removing existing board members.

Efforts to reach Heritage Bank’s head of Corporate Communications, Ozenna Utulu, for comment on the situation were unfruitful as of the time of reporting.

Heritage bank doesn't look like a bank that will survive the new cbn 500b Naira recapitalization benchmark.

Darnm

How many out of a job now? Their families? Projects? Plans? Savings?

In this tilumbu's times

Toor. Hope dollar will not be blame cos almost every crisis no matter the cause, Dollar is the cause. Misplace priority.

Heritage Bank, we are complaining that unemployment is getting worse and you people are sacking your employees. Make una fear God na.

Outdated bank

Are people still working in banks??

These people aren't normal to even think of sacking people in this economy.

My advice to any young man out there,learn to start up a side hustle and grow it at an exponential degree and after it starts yielding,pls do not hesitate to resign and have ur peace.

There are people whose side hustle is treasury bills...yes,it can pay their bills down to children school fees and feeding.

So,go get a side hustle...it is very important.



Think about this.

Heritage bank was not in existence during Sanusi era . Get your facts right.

I hear opay is the largest bank in Nigeria in terms of value of trade. Heard they have no branches, all online. Abi are others considering that route?

Mass sack in this economic hard time

Economic Hard Times must have induced the sack :banks are profit-oriented establishments hence, any dwindling fortunes usually necessitate right-sizing of the human capital. I do not support rationalization without compensation .
