House Of Representatives Intervenes In Diamond Bank Staff Retrenchment Dispute by Tolakay: 9:30am On Apr 06, 2017 |
The House of Representatives Committee on Public Petition wednesday summoned Diamond Bank Plc over the sacking of 300 staff. It followed a petition by the aggrieved staff, which was earlier submitted by their Counsel, Stephen Ofagbor to the House. The lawmakers had summoned the bank to appear before it to provide explanation on the matter. The bank didn’t however turn up at the meeting wednesday. Essentially, the petition alleged that the “retrenchment was unconstitutional, unlawful, illegal, unwarranted, null and void” and called on the bank to reverse its decision. Ofagbor said the affected staff have taken several steps towards their reinstatement or payment of their terminal benefits, including a demand letter from their solicitor, but all to no avail as the bank rebuffed all overtures. He added that the affected persons were not given the opportunity to repay the loan as scheduled and are being charged interest on the unpaid balance, which they would not be in a position to pay except they are recalled or paid their redundancy benefits. He said: “Each of the retrenched staff entitlement is based on rank and number of years served and they have been seized of all the particulars of each of them for purposes of computing their individual entitlement. “The action of Diamond bank has caused the affected persons enormous hardship, psychological trauma, great embarrassment and above all stigmatisation.” He added that unless adequately redressed, the situation portends great risk to the bank employees and the industry in general. Nevertheless, Chairman of the committee, Nkem Abonta, however Adjourned hearing toMay 7, 2017 to enable the committee further communicate with Diamond bank. https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2017/04/06/house-intervenes-in-diamond-bank-staff-retrenchment-dispute/

Excellent move, If they are confident the retrenchment wasn't unlawful, why didn't they show up yesterday? Hopefully their lawyers will advise them to show up the next hearing date. I keep wondering what Uzoma stands to benefit if the bank crashes, as his actions so far suggests he doesn't mind running his father's business down with his strong headedness. 8 Likes |

How are they going to intervene? Give them money monthly to pay staffs? The problem with Nigeria is we spent a lot of money maintaining these our legislators and executives while they do virtually nothing to help the economy. My only regret is not leaving Nigeria when I had the chance, because i never knew we will still be like these present days. 2 Likes 1 Share |

bunch of clueless jokers can they pin point which law they claim has been flouted? or is this the usual senate media investigation which is a coded shakedown? if the senate are serious about worker welfare in the banking industry, they should enforce unionization of staff in the banks outside of that this comes across as the empty headed posturing they are known for. businesses downsize everyday. it is extremely messed up, but it is what it is. the senate will not support diamond bank if it fails. 1 Like |

Instead of the affected persons to dialogue with the bank, they are running from pillar to post smearing the name of the bank! This is the umpteenth time I'm seeing this smear campaign in different blogs! I thought they said they have taken the matter to court? If you check well, some of them might have been involved in fraud and/or sharp malpractice before they were sacked!!! |

Diamond Bank is in the habit of sacking workers over flimsy reasons. It is the only bank that hates the progress of its staff. Once you buy a new car, move into a better flat or buy your own land the sack you. |
