"Moving forward": Bank employee tenders his resignation, shares emotional video
This story has significance for readers across Kenya and beyond.
- Noble Justice Ekere shared a video on August 18, 2026, documenting his journey at Ecobank before tendering his resignation
- Ekere began as a Customer Service Assistant before getting invited to Ecobank Academy for intensive training and later moving through multiple departments
- His story caught attention online, with many Nigerians praising his growth across different roles rather than staying in one position for years
A banker, Noble Justice Ekere, stirred conversation online after sharing a TikTok video on August 18, 2026, tracing his career journey at Ecobank from his very first day to his final one as a Reconciliation Officer.
The video, which Ekere posted with the caption "Thank you Ecobank Nigeria. Moving forward to the next chapter," captured milestone after milestone in a career that began at the bottom rung and climbed steadily upward.
From Customer Service to Head Office
Ekere's story started when he joined the bank as a Customer Service Assistant. He was later selected to attend Ecobank Academy, the institution's in-house training centre whose motto reads "Aspire. Strive. Achieve." There, he went through weeks of intensive training alongside colleagues before graduating and receiving his certification.
After completing the programme, he was deployed to the head office as a Customer Support Officer. His time there was not the end of his movement within the organisation. He subsequently transitioned into the E-banking Department, where he worked as a Settlement Officer, before eventually rising to the Reconciliation Officer role, from which he has now resigned.
The journey, spanning several departments and functions, drew admiration from viewers who saw it as a model of genuine professional development within a single institution.
Netizens React to His Story
Ekere did not spell out his next destination in the post, keeping his plans brief with the phrase "next chapter." For many who watched the video, however, the story of his time at Ecobank was reason enough to pay attention, a reminder that breadth of experience within an organisation can carry its own kind of weight.
The video attracted a wave of responses from people who recognised the value in his varied experience across the bank's operations.
Gloria: "This is what they call 'experience in banking ', not just in a unit for years but moved around."
J2: "This is growth at work, not being in one place for years with a constant salary"
Sam: "Congrats to you as you move to the next chapter."
