NCCU trying ‘to cope’ with death of two employees says CEO

Nadine Laville, Naphana Mason

Chief Executive Officer of the National Cooperative Credit Union (NCCU) Aylmer Irish has described the recent deaths of two of the institutions employees as “very difficult”.

Nadine Laville who was assigned to the Roseau branch passed away on Sunday and Naphana Mason who was stationed at the La Plaine branch died on Monday.

During an interview with State-Owned DBS Radio, Irish said the situation came as a shock for staff members but the NCCU, he said, was doing its very best to cope with these sad occurrences.

He said in the 26 years in which he’s worked with the credit union, this is the first time that his staff members have passed away while in service.

“We, at the NCCU, mourn the passing of two of our staff members namely, Nadine Laville on Sunday and Naphana Mason on Monday. The death of these two members of our team really took the staff members by shock and we are still trying to come to grips with the passing,” Irish stated.

He noted that NCCU has been able to provide some psychosocial support to staff.

“We had with us on Monday, a consultant psychiatrist and a social worker and we repeated this in on Tuesday. Our tagline is One Big Family and to have some family members pass on within 48 hours is in fact, a big blow,” the NCCU official reiterated.

He added that NCCU is keeping in touch with the family members of the deceased staff and will continue to provide all the support that they possibly can.

President of the Dominica Business Forum, Darryl, Bobb extended condolences to the families, Friends and NCCU Staff members after the recent passing of the two young ladies.

    Naphana, rest my child. The news of your death touched my heart. I asked God Almighty to strengthen your family because I know they will need it. To the family of Nadine, may you too find strength in Jesus. I am indeed sad to see you go Naphana.

    So sad, seeing two young people going so before their time. What is happening in our country. I hope it was not Covid or depression that cause this. May the good Lord take mercy on their souls and also on the rest of us.

    This is so sad. These two young ladies in the prime of their lives. No matter what side of the fence you are on. We all need to come together regarding the number of sudden deaths in Dominica that nobody wants to talk about. We done burying our heads in the sand. These deaths need to be investigated and the public need to know some facts about why so many are dying this year.
    Rest in peace young ones.

      The public already know what the reason is. As a society we just don’t have the balls to call it out and challenge it. Those who have influential positions and a ‘loud voice’ are to scared to be victimised and lose their financial benefits to use their influence to speak on it. The less influential are a combination of being to scared of being victimised and too well trained/indoctrinated to work in Their own best interests.

        So you are suggesting that people were not dying before? That every death now is as a result of one cause? Internet is a good thing but its a bad thing too seeing that it has created so many keyboard experts.

      If your comment about ‘— so many are dying this year —” is accurate, then I agree that Dominicans need to know what is happening and the possible impact impact. If it’s inaccurate, then the country can do without such inflammatory comments. A good place to start is to accurately determine how many Dominicans have died suddenly this year.

      What gave you the impression it was sudden? Because you do not know their personal business you just speculating. So many people have terminal and other fatal ailments. Because they are up and about controlling them with meds it does not mean they are not sick. Not everybody announce their business in the public so stop speculating.
