One of the leading financial institutions in Nigeria, Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank), has informed its customers of an early closure of its branches in Lagos on Wednesday, February 28, 2024.
In a notice sent via e-mail to its customers, the tier-1 lender explained that this is due to the closure of the Third Mainland Bridge (TMB) for 24 hours by the federal government.
The federal government is closing the bridge to motorists for repairs from 12 noon on Wednesday, February 28 to 12 noon on Thursday, February 29, 2024. The closure will affect both bounds of the carriageways of the bridge.
The bank stated that today, its branches in the metropolis would close for business by 3 pm instead of the usual 4 pm.
“Please be informed that our branches in Lagos will close earlier than usual on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, due to the recent announcement by the Federal Ministry of Works to close the Third Mainland Bridge for 24 hours.
“Please take note of the early closure time at Lagos branches at 3 pm.
“Regular closure time of 4 pm in Lagos will resume on Thursday, February 29, 2024.
“We encourage you to take advantage of our secure, convenient and always-on alternative channels for any of your banking needs,” the notice obtained by Business Post read.
