Fani Kayode Shames Access Bank For Betraying Workers To Please Buhari
A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has condemned the Group Managing Director of Access Bank, Herbert Wigwe, for sacking some his workers.
Recall Access Bank had announced plans to sack its workers and shutdown over 300 branches as a result of the Coronavirus outbreak and lockdown.
Herbert Wigwe had said that apart from the mass sacking, which would affect about 75 per cent of the bank’s workforce, he would take the lead in having the largest pay cut of 40 per cent.
Ekohotblog gathered that many of the bank’s staff have received their sack letters in good faith while other are still in shock.

Reacting on Sunday in a post on his Twitter page, Fani-Kayode accused the Bank GMD of betraying his workers to appease President Muhammadu Buhari.
He recalled that Access Bank had donated N1 Billion to help the Federal Government combat Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Fani-Kayode wrote: “You gave 1 Billion Naira to the FG to fight Covid 19 and the next day you sacked hundreds of your loyal staff.
“You betrayed your workers and turned your back on them when they needed you most because you were more interested in your profits and appeasing Buhari. Access Bank SHAME ON U!
“Worse still you shut down 340 of your branches! With a stroke of the pen you have thrown thousands of people into unemployment at a time when they are already going through hell because of the lockdown and you have destroyed many families. Herbert Wigwe, how do you sleep at night?
