Key Stone Bank Fires Senior Management Staff by Omooba77: 6:26pm On Dec 28, 2013
About a month after sacking a good number of its workers, Keystone Bank Limited has again fired a significant number of its workforce -majority of the affected employees belonged to the senior management cadre.

Keystone Bank, one of the three nationalised banks belonging to the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria, had early this month laid off some of its workers, and said the ‘right-sizing exercise’ was ongoing.

The bridged bank also said the exercise was in continuation of the lender’s recently instituted performance-based appraisal system.

A statement on Wednesday by the bank’s Head of Corporate Communication, Mr. Mohammed Ciroma, confirmed the latest job cut.

It stated that the move was in tune with the extant human capital development policy and guidelines of the company.

According to Ciroma, the development is aimed at repositioning the lender to adequately meet the challenges of the new financial year.

The spokesman said the management of the bank had held a meeting with the executive members of the Association of Senior Staff of Banks & Other Financial Institutions, adding that a consensus, which holistically accommodated all payments accruable to the affected staff members in line with the 2012 ASSBIFI Staff Settlement Agreement, had also been reached.

Ciroma stated that the bank was committed to the ideals of due process and proper separation of service between its employees and the institution.
He added that the bank “remains focused on achieving credible business performance that would enhance the brand value while safeguarding the welfare of its employees and the investment of shareholders, the banking public and other stakeholders.”

Declining profits, which characterised the nine-month results of a number of banks, may have ignited a wave of job cuts in the banking sector.

Some banks have sacked workers a few months after the Central Bank of Nigeria introduced a stiffer monetary measure, asking the Deposit Money Banks to keep 50 per cent of public sector deposits with the CBN.

In the last two months, at least four banks have sacked some of their workers.

They are Union Bank of Nigeria Plc, Enterprise Bank Limited, Unity Bank Plc and Keystone Bank Limited.

Union Bank and Unity Bank had disengaged some of their personnel. Enterprise Bank also reportedly sacked over 150 workers. Enterprise, one of the three nationalised banks, confirmed the development but declined to mention the number of staff members affected.

Analysts are of the opinion that in the coming months, more banks are expected to ‘right-size,’ in line with the tight monetary stance of the CBN and in a bid to rein in on inflation, which the CBN has succeeded in keeping at a single digit in the last six months.

if your a banker, always have it at the back of your mind that your job is not secure and save for the rainy day

cause when it happens those that prepared for such will not cry but just smile to their businesses

You are on point; not just Banking; any job where you are an employee, you must have it at the back of your mind that it can end any day. First thing is to get a landed property, no matter where it is built; even if it is 2-Bedroom flat. I discovered when people lose their job, the first disability is accommodation, so you must prepare for tomorrow.
Saddening enough, I see young men taking loans to buy latest technology called flash cars in a rented apartment; some with like 4 cars, without having a single block in Agbara or Epe. It is true only God builds for one, but we need to make efforts too.

More banks to sack in coming months. There is great decline in the profits made by these banks, so the most probable and easiest way to cut cost is to reduce operating expenses by sacking staff.

The annoying thing is that most of these banks don't have good final entitlement to exited staff. Banking jobs are not secured at all.

I've been banking with Bank Phb even before it's baptism to Keystone bank and for me, apart from the reason stated in this post, I don't think the so-called senior management staff have lived up to the duties of harnessing initiatives geared towards the growth of the bank.
I hate to sound like am happy that some peoples parents just lost their source of income, but Keystone bank surely needs an entirely new set of intelligent staff with the zeal and commitment to move the bank to the next level.

You are on point because sacking isn't the solution because all affected have families to cater for but reducing their salaries except the affected staff were inefficient.

The nonentity called Sanusi Lagido Sanusi that started the whole sack mess in the banking industry has gotten his sack letter too and is proceeding on pre-sack leave. But, at Sanusi Lagido Sanusi's level, it is not called sack, rather they call it resignation or retirement or end-of-tenure - all na the same sack.
