Nigerian banks on national strike for two days

Nigerian banks have informed the public that financial services will be temporarily unavailable on September 5 and 6, 2023, as they are on a two-day nationwide strike.

This directive has been issued by the National Union of Banks, Insurance, and Financial Institution Employees (NUBIFE).

The memo, dated September 2, 2023, bears the signature of the union’s General Secretary, Mohammed I. Sheikh, local media reported.

NUBIFE’s decision to call for this strike action aligns with the strike notice previously issued by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on August 31.

Expressing its concerns, NUBIFE accused the federal government of unwarranted interference in the internal affairs of unions, diverting attention from pressing issues related to the economy, Pulse reported.
