Meanwhile, the retrenched workers, have through their solicitors, also written to the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, requesting him to direct the management of Diamond Bank to pay compulsory redundancy allowances to the over 400 sacked staff, pointing out that the bank has refused to pay the allowances despite a formal request made to it.
This letter was copied to the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Governor, Executive Secretary of the National Human Rights Commission, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress and others.
Speaking on the next line of action, the Principal Associate of the chambers representing the sacked workers, Frank Tietie Esq, who is also the Executive Director of Citizens Advocacy for Socio Economic Rights, CASER, told DAILY POST that while the chambers cannot drag the matter to court unless asked to do so by the affected workers scattered across the country, CASER will institute legal action against Diamond Bank since some of the affected workers are its members.
“We will ensure there is a legal resolution on this matter,” he said.
