NTDC CEO Sally Mbanefo sacked

The Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC), Mrs. Sally Mbanefo, has been sacked.
The sack letter, a source told Freedom Online, was written on Sunday by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Engineer Babachir David Lawal.
The letter, entitled NOTIFICATION OF DE-SECONDMENT FROM THE NIGERIA TOURISM DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (NTDC), reads: “I refer to the attached letter Ref No. SGF.6/S.23/1/568 of 8th October, 2013 in respect of your secondment from Keystone Bank Limited to serve as Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC) for a period of two (2) years with effect from 6th May, 2013. You may note, from the foregoing, that the period of your secondment at the Corporation had since lapsed on 5th May, 2016.
“Consequently, you are to handover the affairs of the Corporation to the most senior officer on or before Wednesday, 30th November, 2016.
“Please, accept my best wishes on your future endeavours”.
Former SGF, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, had written a letter to the Managing Director of Keystone Bank on October 8, 2013 requesting for Mbanefo’s secondment for a period of two years to head NTDC.
Freedom Online learned that Babachir Lawal’s letter sacking Mbanefo may not be unconnected to a crisis of confidence between her and the office of the SGF.
