Access Bank lean measures may affect 75% of its staff.

All those lost jobs in the middle of this crisis. Security men, tea boys, cleaners.

The CEO offered to take a 40% pay cut.

I prefer not to speak.

People had this to say about the video:

I can’t deal.

Access Bank will hire Zlatan and pay him 10 Million just to come and scream "Ayiiiiiiiiiiiii" but then sack staff who graduated from tough Universities with First Class, staff that they were paying 75k. Let me hear anybody tell me that Education is the key again 😒

Interesting.

1. Access Bank started its restructuring much to the horror of the general public. Well, its for self-preservation.

Most banks have their fortunes tied to fluctuations in global oil prices considering that about a third of all credits they extend to the economy are directed to

Another perspective.

Twitter you people won't kill me on this app. I was scared to watch the video.

Like what could he have said that was so terrible? My heart was beating. And then this is it??

This is unfortunate, but necessary, Access isn't lean, costs are too high..compare to GT. https://t.co/HnBOKmFdhU

In response to the video, the Central Bank released this circular:

No bank shall retrench or lay-off staff in any cadre:

Plug it to my veins. Whew.

Access Bank sha tried to do control damage and they said this:

The silver lining here is that Access Bank can’t take any action without the approval of the Central Bank. So, all we can do is wait and see what happens in the coming days. I surely hope they find an amicable middle ground for both business and employees.

While we wait, it’s important that we all keep safe and take all the necessary precautions needed to beat this virus. Stay at home if you can.

We are all in this together!
