First Bank of Nigeria Limited says it has promoted over 3000 of its workforce. 

The bank, in a statement, said the recent promotion exercise was aimed at   rewarding  staff’s strong performance. It said the  promotions cut  across board, moving up over 3000 staff members.

“In the bid to constantly improve employee welfare, career development and progress, FirstBank continuously develops its staff and invests in its talent pool. This year’s promotions were  targeted more towards lower and middle management cadres within the bank in recognition of their pivotal role in customer service delivery and the bank’s transformational programme,” the statement reads in part. 

It added that  the performance review is an annual exercise in the bank tailored to recognize and reward members of staff who have excelled as well as disengage those who performed poorly in the last financial year.

“Our priority as an institution is to empower and build the capacity of our people as they are our best assets.
