National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institution Employees

The National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institution Employees (NUBIFIE) is a trade union representing workers in the finance industry in Nigeria.

The union was founded in 1978, when the Government of Nigeria merged together nine unions:[1]

  • Bank of the North Staff Union
  • British American Insurance Workers' Union of Nigeria
  • Co-operative Union of Western Nigeria Ltd. Staff Association
  • Ekiti-Joint Co-operative Movement Staff Union
  • National Insurance Corporation of Nigeria Workers' Union
  • Nigerian Union of Banks, Insurance and Allied Workers
  • Royal Exchange Assurance Staff Union
  • United Dominions Corporation and Allied Workers' Union of Nigeria
  • Western Nigeria Finance and Agricultural Credit Corporation Workers' Union

The union affiliated to the Nigeria Labour Congress. It had 69,613 members in 1988,[2] and 80,000 by 1995.[3] In 2016, the union left the NLC to become a founding constituent of the United Labour Congress (ULC). However, in 2020, the whole ULC rejoined the NLC.[4][5]
