The trend of economic hardship currently being witnessed in
Nigeria has caught up with another bank in less than a week. Reports
from eco bank representatives revealed that no lesser that 1000
personnel have been sacked from the staff list.
The report also revealed that the initial number planned was
about 1400 persons. But the exercise stopped at just 1040 workers.
It also confirmed that the bank had converted over 200 outsourced
persons into permanent staff. The report was in a statement made by
the managing director of the bank- Charles Ekie, who said that the
intent of converting temporary staff to permanent staff was to
continue the development and nurturing of growing talent, and to help
boost people along their career paths.
"We fully understand that people are our greatest assets and so
we have duly emphasised the need to improve our performance towards
our customers. While at the same time repositioning other talented
minds on our path of success. We have been fair in dis engaging some
staff, and ensuring that they are treated fairly".
Eco bank Nigeria belongs to a Pan African group Eco bank, which
employs over 15,000 staff from roughly 40 countries.
