Association of Senior Staff of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions (ASSBIFI) has announced that banks should begin operations from Monday, February 20, 2023.
Olusoji Oluwole, president of the association, disclosed this Sunday, while suspending its plans to commence strike action on Monday.
It will be recalled there had been several cases of protests and destruction of bank facilities across the country over the naira scarcity.
Oluwole, however, cautioned members to, without further instruction, shut their doors and gates against customers whenever their lives are under threat.
He said: “Following the recent unwarranted attacks on members of ASSBIFI, other bank workers, and the destruction of several branches across various states, we were forced to issue a stay-at-home order to our members to safeguard their lives, and properties of their various organisations.
“Based on the outcome of our discussion, we hereby release the following statements: while our members will resume at their functional branches immediately, the safety and security of their lives remain paramount to us and we continue to demand that visible and adequate security is provided in all operational areas. particularly places that are traditionally known to be volatile.
