Salako, who was elected  un-opposed during the 8th triennial national delegates conference of the union in Ilorin,  Kwara state recently, said repositioning of the union is very prime in his mind because of the import of the financial sector in the nation’s economy.
He said such repositioning will involve ASSBIFI’s contribution to reshape the financial sector, building lasting and endurable legacies in the sector as well giving the bank and other financial institutions in the country the latitude to unionize in order to fight unjust practices in their work places.
Salako, whose next tenure spans three year warned 11 banks and insurance companies to unionise in order to avoid ASSIBIFI’s big stick.
The institutions include: Diamond Bank, Stanbic IBTC, Standard Chartered, Fidelity and Guaranty Trust Banks, as well as Leadway Assurance, Standard Alliance Insurance, Capital Express Insurance, Industrial and General Insurance (IGI), Goldlink Assurance and Continental Reinsurance.
Salako also gave the Labour Writers’ Association of Nigeria (LAWAN) an enduring partnership award.
He explained that the labour journalists got the award due to their commitment to the promotion decent work agenda in the nation’s financial sector.
He said: “We give members of Labour Writers’ Association of Nigeria our enduring partnership award in recognition of its members unflinching support and commitment to the campaign for decent work agenda’ in the financial sector.
“We use this opportunity to urge media practitioners in the county to give unalloyed support for the campaign for good governance as the only option left for the dividends of democracy to trickle down to the masses in Nigeria.”
