NIGERIA TO TIGHTEN ITS BORDERS AGAINST EBOLA VIRUS
In an attempt to keep Nigerians safe from Ebola Virus, the Federal Executive Council has directed the Federal Ministry of Health to step up surveillance activities in the country.
The Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, stated this when he briefed State House correspondents at the end of the council’s meeting chaired by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Minister said the council’s directive followed the reported reemergence of the disease in Democratic Republic of Congo.
He indicated that the council had ordered that steps must be taken to keep the Ebola outbreak away from Nigeria, saying that part of the new measures to be taken would include screening of immigrants.
