NDDC reacts to speculations over director’s death
The Niger Delta Development Commission has officially announced the death of its acting director of finance and administration, Ibanga Etang.The NDDC said in a statement on Friday that it delayed the announcement of Mr Etang’s passing because it needed to inform the family first.Hours after Mr Etang’s death, the NDDC management hurriedly shut down operations at its headquarters in Port Harcourt.
“The NDDC is, therefore, miffed by spurious and uncharitable coloration being championed by mischief makers on the occasion of the demise of Chief Ibanga Bassey Etang, whose untimely death occurred at the early hours of Thursday the 28th of May 2020. “They rushed to social media and published even the internal memo that they have shut down the office for two weeks, and that he died of COVID-19.”
Mr Emmanuel said the Akwa Ibom government called the commissioner for health in Rivers State to find out if a COVID-19 test has been conducted on the body and whether the result was out, immediately he read postings on social media that suggested that Mr Etang died of COVID-19.
