Femi Fani-Kayode kicks against the sack of Access Bank workers.

The issue of job loss has taken a center stage since the outbreak of the corona virus pandemic due to its effect on world economy. Some workers had argued that, nothing can happen to their job since the event is beyond their control. There were equally promises from various employers (government and private) that they will still keep their staff during and after the pandemic in order to reduce the effect on the people especially the low income earners.

However, what is playing out now is different from the aspirations of the workers especially in Nigeria. In the last few days including on workers day some employees have started receiving sack letters.

The current one is the sack of some staff of Access Bank which has generated a lot of reactions from the public. One of the prominent Nigerians who has added his voice against the sack of the Access Bank workers is Femi Fani-Kayode. He made his position known today via his official Twitter handle. He stated “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 & turned your back on them when they needed you most because you were more interested in ur profits and appeasing Buhari. @myaccessbank 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 & you have destroyed many families.@Herbertwigwe, how do you sleep at night?”

What is your take on this?
