About 50 employees of Skye Bank Plc and staff in outsourced and auxiliary functions have been sacked.
Although the numbers of the affected non-core staff were not stated since they are not direct employees of the bank, the reasons for the exit it was gathered ranged from non-performance, disciplinary issues as well as right sizing.
Most of the affected staff are Staff in outsourced functions made up of Tellers, Drivers and Internal Security Guards.
In other to avoid serious backlash, it was gathered that the management of the bank has approved payment of generous entitlement and severance packages to those affected as contained in their engagement letter and as agreed with the workers’ union.
It would be recalled that part of the mandate of Skye Bank’s re-constituted Board is to run a lean and efficient organization, control cost, aggressively recover debts owed by debtors and grow deposit liabilities and shore the liquidity position of the Bank.
The Adetokunbo Abiru led Skye Bank, designated by the Central Bank of Nigeria as one of Nigeria’s eight Systemically Important Bank, is one of the country’s leading retail and commercial banks with over 373 branches and cash centers across Nigeria.
