Investigation revealed that among the new preventive measures introduced by some of the Nigerian banks are self-dispensing hand sanitisers, and body temperature scanners at all their branches in the country.
Checks also revealed that some of the banks have introduced protective gears for members of its staffs especially those who deal directly with customers.
According to a notice to customers released by WEMA on Monday, 25 August, 2015, the bank said henceforth all customers and visitors to any branch of the bank would be required to use the hand sanitisers and be scanned for symptoms of fever before being admitted into their banking halls.
“In the wake of the recent Ebola Virus Disease outbreak across West Africa, we are compelled to introduce the following preventive health and safety initiatives at all our business locations in order to ensure a safe banking environment for all customers and staff,” the bank stated.
All customers and visitors are required to use the hand sanitisers and undergo a quick non-invasive body temperature scan before being allowed into our banking halls and business locations.
A visit to some branches of Guaranty Trust Bank, GTB, also showed that the bank has started implementing new safety measure aimed at curtailing the spread of the Ebola virus.
At the GTB branch on Allen Avenue in Ikeja, Lagos State, customers were scanned for their body temperatures before being allowed into the banking halls by security guards.
