| Hunger Strike Odunayo |
Saw this news on the punchng platform and found it interesting. Olubiyi Odunayo, a 53-year-old former employee of
Hallmark Bank Plc., has embarked on hunger strike to protest against
non-payment of his terminal benefit.
Besides, the ex-banker has turned a garden on
Mobolaji Bank-Anthony Way into his new home, vowing to remain there
until he is paid his benefits.
Hallmark Bank was one of the banks which did not meet
the Central Bank of Nigeria’s recapilatisation policy in 2005 resulting
in its folding up.
Odunaro, a senior manager of the defunct bank, said he began the hunger strike on November 12.
When our correspondent visited him on Mobolaji Bank
Anthony Way, opposite Opebi U Turn Road junction, on Tuesday, he was
seen reading a novel ‘Long walk to freedom’ by Nelson Mandela.
He explained that he embarked on the protest to
expose the insensitivity of the Federal Government to pay the terminal
entitlements of over 14,000 employees of the 14 banks that failed to
meet up with the recapitalisation policy. Read full story in the Punch
