Definitely not Access Bank! We all had a choice: 'University or Polytechnic' no body was forced to choose either. Yes JAMB may not have favoured a lot, but you can't put the blame on the guy who decided go to the University or the Company who had defined its business strategy even before most of us were old enough for higher learning! It still beats me why students patronise the polytechnics if they are all aware of the discrimination.As for the inter guys, well my take is - it was inevitable! Their bank couldn't support all of the them in the first place which was why they needed a buyer! It happens in all mergers across the world and from what I hear I think Access Bank did a good job in terms of the termination benefits. I heard that the severance packages for the laid-off inter guys were so attractive that some of the Access guys are jealous and wouldn't mind taking the offer and Labour was in-the-know before the inter staff were sacked. So I think there is more to it than just the inter side of the story.NB: I'm also waiting for their interview!
