NECA, which is an umbrella body for employers in the country, said the threat, if allowed, could endanger the stability of the banks.

It called on Arase to rise up to the security challenge and ensure that Nigerians are not prevented from access to their banks by the action.

Meanwhile, following a call by the federal government to banks to stop the mass sack of their workers, bankers’ committee of the Central Bank of Nigeria has promised to reduce the rate of sack in the financial institutions.
