An unidentified staff of Union Bank has died of coronavirus in Lagos state.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Bank, Emeka Emuwa confirmed this in an internal memo made public on Monday.
He said the staff died while on treatment for coronavirus at the Infectious Disease Center in Yaba, Lagos on Monday.
The memo read: “Dear colleagues, notwithstanding the easing of the lockdown, the threat of COVID-19 remains high and real.
“Today, we received a painful reminder of this threat.
“We are deeply saddened to announce that one of our colleagues died in the early hours of today (Monday, May 4th) while being treated at the Infectious Disease Center in Yaba, Lagos.”
“Out of respect for the family, we are protecting the identity of this colleague until the family chooses to make a formal announcement.”
In the memo, Enuwa, however, added that the staff had been working remotely since March, therefore no cause for alarm in any of its branches.
