National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institution Employees
The National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institution Employees (NUBIFIE) is a trade union representing workers in the finance industry in Nigeria.
The union was founded in 1978, when the Government of Nigeria merged nine unions:[1]
- Bank of the North Staff Union
- British American Insurance Workers' Union of Nigeria
- Co-operative Union of Western Nigeria Ltd. Staff Association
- Ekiti-Joint Co-operative Movement Staff Union
- National Insurance Corporation of Nigeria Workers' Union
- Nigerian Union of Banks, Insurance and Allied Workers
- Royal Exchange Assurance Staff Union
- United Dominions Corporation and Allied Workers' Union of Nigeria
- Western Nigeria Finance and Agricultural Credit Corporation Workers' Union
The union affiliated to the Nigeria Labour Congress. It had 69,613 members in 1988,[2] and 80,000 by 1995.[3] In 2016, the union left the NLC to become a founding constituent of the United Labour Congress (ULC). However, in 2020, the whole ULC rejoined the NLC.[4][5]
