The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) has appealed to the public to stop attacking bank workers, saying they are also victims of the cash crisis facing the nation.
The Congress which made the appeal in a statement signed by its President, Mr Festus Osifo, and Secretary General, Mr Nuhu Toro, said that bank and financial institution employees at junior and senior staff levels were mere workers who distribute only currencies made available to the various banks by the regulatory agencies.
It assured members of the public that the TUC, to which the Senior Staff of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions (ASSBIFI) belongs, was doing everything in its powers to find a solution to the financial crisis, and it does not in any way encourage miscreants and those destroying public or private infrastructure, looting valuables of innocent Nigerians and shops under the guise of protest.
