ReplyDeleteVery interesting story and example of bad customer experience. Unfortunately, as for me, bad customer experience is a big issue not only for Nigeria:( I bet that everyone encounters impolite support agents.
ReplyDeleteBad customer service everywhere.
ReplyDeleteIt's become the norm, not the exception.
I think Union bank is the most improved organization in Nigeria when it comes to good customer service. They wowed me when I visited them recently.
ReplyDeleteI know one place I will not get bad customer service and that is at UNION BANK. Smart and efficient Banking resides with UNION BANK. The folks over there are giving Banking in Nigeria a smart new face...
