Polaris Bank Sets Record Straight On Memo Suggesting A Set Rule On Worship
Polaris Bank has set the record straight concerning an internal communication on worship sent by a supervisor in its employment to one of the staff.
The financial institution with Innocent C. Ike as Chief Executive Officer, correcting the wrong impression created by the now widely circulated memo in a statement signed by its management, insisted it has respect for members of its staff to practice their faith.
The press statement titled “RESPECT FOR EMPLOYEE RIGHT TO WORSHIP” which expressly rejected the content of the said memo as a reflection of the bank policy reads…
Our attention has been drawn to a shared screenshot of an internal mail sent by one of our Yes Centre team supervisors to staff in the department.
In the said mail, which has become widely circulated in the media, we note that the issue in question was a communication to her colleagues on the implication of everyone leaving the office at the same time and disrupting service delivery to customers. This communication was issued by the said officer without understanding its implications and does not reflect the policy of the Bank.
We wish to state that Polaris Bank recognizes the right of every individual to practise his or her faith in line with constitution of the Federal Republic Nigeria and accordingly does not discriminate on the basis of religion.
We thank all our customers and other stakeholders for the trust and confidence reposed in us and reassure of excellence service delivery at all times.
Thank you.
Signed
Management
