Zenith Bank has commenced skeletal services in some of its branches in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and environs after the bank on Tuesday shut some its branches in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and other states across the country due to alleged attacks on its staff.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) correspondent, who
monitored the bank in Abuja on Wednesday, reports that only the ATM gallery was
operational in some of the initially shut-down branches.
NAN also reports that the bank’s branch along check-point,
Nyanya-Mararaba Road, which was shut down on Tuesday, was offering skeletal
services.
Customers thronged the ATM gallery but were not allowed
access to the banking hall.
They were asked to use other alternative branches of the
bank, with emphasis on their Asokoro branch.
The customers at the ATM gallery of the bank were also being
paid with the new naira notes.
Some of them, who spoke to NAN, expressed disappointment
with the development in the bank.
Mrs Ada Afor, a customer at the ATM gallery, appealed to the
management of the bank to find a lasting solution to all their challenges.
“I am not happy with the development in this bank. Their network
is too poor and you cannot do any transactions with it.
For the past three days, I have been trying to send money to
someone.
“I came here yesterday, thinking I could gain access to the
banking hall, but I met everywhere locked.
“Today again, they said we cannot enter the banking hall. I
am now left with this crowd to use the ATM.
“I don’t know if I can wait for all this,” she said.
Another customer, Mr Chris Idoko, appealed to the Central
Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to ease the process of accessing the new naira notes.
“I heard that the bank shut down operations yesterday, and
that is why I am here to move the little money I have with them.
“I don’t want stories,” he said.
Some branches of Zenith Bank were shut down due to alleged
attacks, network issues and lack of new naira notes.
