A banker from Access Bank, who simply identified himself as Temitayo, explained that the bank’s management prioritised employee safety over operations.
“We were asked not to open today because of the protest. According to the management of the bank, our safety comes first. I think all branches of Access Bank nationwide are doing the same thing,” Temitayo stated.
Similarly, a banker at First Bank stated that the management of the bank instructed employees to work from home adding that the decision reflects widespread safety concerns.
“A memo was sent to us to work from home instead. I doubt if any bank will open. I think the protest is going to affect a lot of banks because money will be lost. We can only hope for good governance,” the banker, who simply identified herself as Simi, stated.
The protest was also felt at the busy Computer Village in Ikeja, as traders closed their shops.
