The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has suddenly
shut down its headquarters for two weeks after the death of Ibanga Bassey
Etang, the acting executive director of finance.
There are fears that he might have contracted the
coronavirus.
Silas Anyawu, who signed the memo shutting down the office on
behalf of the management, wrote: “I am directed to inform all staff that
management has approved that the commission be shut down for two weeks from
today 28 May 2020.
“Consequently, all activities in the commission including
ongoing matters are hereby shut down for the time being.
“Members of staff are to ensure that all electrical
appliances in their offices are switched off before leaving the premises.
“The head security is by this memo directed to work out
modalities to ensure the safety and security of the commission while director,
the administration is requested to fumigate and decontaminate the entire
offices and premises in the Headquarters during the period.
“Meanwhile staff are enjoined to go into self-isolation for
two weeks as they await further directive from Management.”
The director’s death is coming during the forensic audit of
the commission’s activities as ordered by President Muhammadu Buhari.

activities from 2001 to 2019 should be probed.
