The Health Minister, Dr Haliru Alhassan, has raised the
fear over a likely resurgence of Ebola Virus Disease in
Nigeria.
He spoke on the occasion marking the upgrading of
Federal Medical Centre , Ido Ekiti, to a Federal Teaching
Hospital and the signing of Memorandum of
Understanding between the Federal Government and Afe
Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, on Saturday.
Expressing worry over the nationwide strike embarked
upon by the Joint Health Staff Union, the minister said
Nigeria was not free from Ebola as long as there were
reported cases of the deadly virus in any part of the
world.
Alhassan, who appealed to all concerned to sustain the
leadership role of President Goodluck Jonathan in
tackling the deadly disease, said the indefinite strike
action embarked upon by JOHESU at a time when many
Nigerians would return home from abroad to celebrate
Christmas and New Year, could threaten the success
achieved.
The MoU followed the building of a N2.5bn worth
Clinical Complex by the proprietor of ABUAD, Chief Afe
Babalola (SAN), in the hospital as part of the
requirements by Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria
and National Universities Commission for the running of
Medicine and Surgery in the institution.
