LAGOS, Nigeria – The National Union of Banks, Insurance & Financial Institutions Employees, NUBIFE and other labour unions will from tomorrow Tuesday, commence a two day warning strike over recent removal of fuel subsidy which has engendered economic hardship.
The Bola-Tinubu led government removed petrol subsidy and has been sharing billions of Naira to the state government but has refused to increase workers salary and put in place measures to cushion the effect of the resulting hardship.
In as statement signed by Mohammed Sheikh, General Secretary, NUBIFE, the association said in line with the meeting of the National Executive Council, NEC held Tuesday, August 31, 2023, that all affiliates should direct all its members to commence two days withdrawal of service from Tuesday, the 5th of September and 6th September 2023.
“The directive is imperative to get the needed attention of the government and warn it of its new found love of meddling in the internal affairs of the union rather than address punishing economic circumstances we find ourselves in.
“We hereby direct all our organs to comply with the directive by ensuring all our members staff off duties for the two days”, the circular to all zonal councils and domestic committees said.
