The House of Representatives has advanced a bill sponsored by Fuad Laguda seeking to curb the widespread use of casual workers in Nigeria’s banking sector. The proposed law aims to compel banks to regularise thousands of contract staff who perform core functions but lack job security, benefits and union representation.

Labour groups have long criticised the practice as exploitative, arguing that it depresses wages and encourages unethical sales pressures. Supporters of the bill say fair employment in banks is critical to financial‑sector stability and consumer trust, though industry players warn of higher operating costs.
