Guaranty Trust Bank has notified its customers that it will be closing early from Monday.

The bank which normally closes at 5PM said in a notice late on Sunday that it will close by 1pm because of diesel shortage.

The notice was sent to its customers and titled: Notice of Early Closure of Branches.

It goes thus:
Dear Customer,
Notice of Early Closure of Branches

The current shortage of petroleum products in the country has limited our ability to supply diesel to all our branches, in order to continue normal branch operations.

Due to this, we unavoidably have to close our branches nationwide at 1pm, from tomorrow Monday, 25th May 2015.

Whilst we have had to take this step to close branch operations early, we would like to seek your understanding at this time, and assure you that we will continue to work hard at finding alternative solutions to this situation and will advise you once the situation has abated.
