The Aliko Dangote Foundation has donated N150 million to the federal government to aid and support the building of an emergency operations centre for Ebola in Lagos.

The foundation’s chief executive officer Adiembong Adaga said it chose the centre because it was “the critical platform through which government is coordinating all that is happening to ensure the crisis is contained.

She said: “this is an unprecedented situation. We all must help contain the outbreak, presently all health facilities have been put on high alert, so what we must do as a nation is
not to panic but rather listen to all the
instructions of health experts so that we can overcome this outbreak.”

Commending the Dangote Foundation for its gesture, the minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku called on other philanthropists to come to the aid of Nigeria and show citizenry
solidarity by donating according to their capacity.

He added that the government alone cannot fund this kind of health emergency, saying, “we know that there are other sources of funding,
especially internal from the private sector, this is the time for Nigeria to show the world that we can be our brother’s keeper”.

He pleaded with Nigerians to heed the advise of health experts and help the country contain the outbreak.
