WHO Declares Nigeria Ebola-free by OKDnigeria: 11:23am On Oct 20, 2014
Nigeria has been declared officially free of Ebola
after six weeks with no new cases, the World
Health Organisation says.
Africa’s most populous country won praise for its
swift response after an infected Liberian diplomat
brought the disease there in July.
The WHO officially declared Senegal Ebola-free on
Friday.
The outbreak has killed more than 4,500 people in
West Africa, mostly in Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra
Leone.
An estimated 70 per cent of those infected have
died in those countries.
Meanwhile, European Union foreign ministers are
meeting in Luxembourg to discuss how to
strengthen their response to the threat posed by
Ebola.
European countries have committed more than
500m euros (£400m; $600m) but the UK is
pressing to double that amount.
The money is being sought to help reinforce over-
stretched healthcare systems in Liberia, Sierra
Leone and Guinea and to mitigate the damage
Ebola is doing to their economies.
Ahead of the talks, German Foreign Minister
Frank-Walter Steinmeier suggested the EU could
send a civilian EU mission to West Africa that
would serve as a platform for sending medical
staff.
Another diplomat said there were plans for three
countries to spearhead aid to the region – the UK
for Sierra Leone, France for Guinea and the US for
Liberia.
Earlier, the Spanish government said a nurse who
became the first person to contract Ebola outside
West Africa had tested negative for the virus.

Nice.
The FG and Ministry of Health did a good job. Fashola and his propaganda wants to rob them accolades due them but GEJ responded maturedly that the victory belongs to Nigeria.
