Staff members of Access Bank
Plc were pleasantly surprised on Monday as they had an increase in their
salary despite the prevailing economic realities in the country.
Nigeria is suffering its worst economic downturn following the
unexpected crash in the price of crude oil, its main source of income.
Businesses including banks have cut jobs to save money while majority of
the states and local governments owe months of unpaid salaries.
THEWILL was told that the bank’s leadership headed by Herbert Wigwe,
approved this increase to cushion the effect of rising standard of
living in the country.
An employee, who expressed delight at this gesture from the
bank confirmed this in confidence. “I am speechless. I don’t think
anyone saw this coming, this is happening at a time when my friends in
other banks are losing their jobs. It feels great to be supported in
such trying times. Thank you Uncle Herbie.”
However, Wigwe was not available for comments as at press time.
