News Update: NIGERIA HAS DEFEATED EBOLA – WHO

In what has been described as a spectacular success story that shows that Ebola can be contained, the World Health Organization, WHO, has officially declared Nigeria an Ebola-free nation, urging other countries currently faced with the challenge of contending with the epidemic to learn from Nigeria’s experience.

Announcing the declaration through its representative in Abuja, Rui Gama Vaz, the global health body said after six weeks (42 days) with no new cases, Nigeria is now free from Ebola.

WHO pointed out that the story of how Nigeria ended what many believed to be potentially the most explosive Ebola outbreak imaginable is worth telling in detail.

This came as President Goodluck Jonathan urged a sustained war against the disease. Also, outgoing Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu described the declaration as a major milestone of the present administration.
