Male employees of Access Bank Plc have been urged employees of the bank to take advantage of its parental leave policy that extends paid benefits to all mothers and fathers.
The bank made the appeal in a statement in Lagos.
It said the policy, which started in January, would foster an inclusive workplace.
It also said that the policy offered paid leave to all new parents at the bank, including mothers and fathers, as well as adoptive and surrogate parents.
The bank added that the new policy, first by a Nigerian bank, offered one week fully paid paternity leave to male employees and allows them to care for their offspring.
