In a saddening video making the rounds online, the CEO of Access Bank, Herbert Wigwe, announced to staff the possible retrenchment of a large percentage of their staff nationwide as a result of the economic difficulties that have characterized the COVID-19 pandemic plaguing the world.
This is coming as a shock to many especially after the fact that Access Bank, which merged with Diamond bank early last year, donated the sum of ₦1bn towards palliatives for the Coronavirus.

Access Bank donated 1 billion to FG.— #OurFavOnlineDoc 🛂 (@DrOlufunmilayo) April 30, 2020
In the name of fighting Covid19.
Then this month, they cut salaries of employees. In the name of hard times.
Donate money to people that didn’t ask.
Starve people who work for you.
What is the colour of this kind of insensitive wickedness?
