Shame on you Access Bank, FFK fumes as Access Bank sacks staff after donating #1billion Naira to FG

The former Minister of Aviation and Culture, Femi Fani-Kayode has this morning taken to his verified Twitter account @realFFK to blast Access Bank for relieving over three hundred of their staff members after having just recently donated one Billion Naira to the federal government to fight Coronavirus.



Recall that sometime in the month of March, Access Bank announced their intention to donate the sum of one billion Naira to the federal government for the purpose of fighting the spread of Coronavirus in Nigeria, thereby joining the list of few well to do Nigerians who donated for that cause.





However, just two days ago, the Bank's Managing Director, Mr. Herbert Wigwe announced that about 75% of their workers would be retrenched as a result of complications arising from the economic crisis caused by Coronavirus. And so, during this weekend, about three hundred and forty (340) Access Bank staffers were allegedly reported to have received their retrenchment letters via an email communicating this fact.




One of whom was a pregnant three month old woman, by the name Taiwo, who was allegedly reported to have fainted upon receiving the email. And so as complaints and heartbreaking stories from men and women who reportedly lost their jobs due to the retrenchment continues to pour in, the former spokesman to former president Olusegun Obasanjo, Femi Fani-Kayode has expressed his utter displeasure at the actions of Access Bank, stating that by donating #1 billion Naira to the federal government, they have betrayed their workers as they have now ended up turning their backs on them at a time when they needed them the most:

You gave 1 Billion Naira to the FG to fight Covid 19 & 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 & appeasing Buhari. @myaccessbank SHAME ON U!
