For daring to request for equity,fairness and justice the Management of Enterprise Bank has suspended some of its staff.

The grievance of the staff, mostly Management Trainees is not unrelated to the acquisition of the Bank (Spring Bank) by the Central Bank of Nigeria in 2011 August.The staff are requesting that their gratuity and severance benefits be paid to them but the Management believes they don't deserve it since Spring Bank is dead and the staff did not serve u to 5 years n Spring Bank before its demise as specified in the Bank's policy.

However, the staff are basing their request on the fact that the policy was refering to 'retiring staff' and not 'retiring bank' and also. Some of their colleagues who were sacked on the 14th of February 2012 were promptly paid their gratuities on the 17th of February 2012.

At the moment, there seem to be confusion in the interpretation and implementation of the Enterprise Bank Policy and the Management is using its powers to stiffle and smother dissenting voices.

From provisions earlier made for staff gratuity payments, records show that apart from the former MD of the Bank Sola Ayodele and her Executive Staff all other staff were short changed.

The current MD of the Bank, Ahmed Kuru has chosen to be silent on the issue even as the Contract Staff of the Bank (FSFS) are presently in court agitating for the payments of their severance benefits.

The CBN is packaging the bank for a re-sale but at the moment, there is an uneasy calm and graveyard silence in the Bank
