Earlier in his remark, the South-East Zonal Public Relations Officer (PRO) and NAAT Chairman, MOUAU Chapter, Comrade Ifeanyi K. Nwaji, recalled that the management and staff of Access Bank PLC, came to their rescue during the COVID-19 era and the currency re-design/cashless policy.
Comrade Nwaji who is also a member of NLC SAC, decried the untold hardship those era bestowed upon Nigerians especially their staff, added that they got several levels of reliefs through Access Bank when other banks turned their backs on them on campus.
