Bank employees strike

    BRAZZAVILLE

    Bank employees in Lagos went on strike for better pay on Tuesday, four days before the inauguration of a civilian as president after 15 years of uninterrupted military rule.

    Most banks were shut or staffed by skeletal crews, AFP said. It quoted the general secretary of the National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial institutions Employees (NUBIFIE) as saying that the call was for a nationwide stay-at-home.

    The strike follows nationwide salary-related work stoppages by teachers and other public sector employees.
