Following the fears of spread of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) through international air and seaports, including border land outposts of Nigerian Immigration Serives (NIS) in the Northeast sub-region of country, Cameroon has closed its borders with Nigeria and suspended all flights to and from Nigeria.
Cameroon, according to the NIS, has a border boundary of over 2, 000 kilometres in Borno, Adamawa, Taraba and Cross Rivers states in the South-South sub-region of Nigeria.
Speaking yesterday on a special programme of the Hausa Service of British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) monitored in Maiduguri, the spokesman of Cameroon Foreign Affairs, Chiroumma Boukkari said the decision to close the borders with Nigeria has become inevitable, because of the fears of the ebola that spreads like wild fire in the West African sub-region.
“This decision on border closure and suspension of all flights to and from Nigeria was to protect the lives of Cameroonian citizens living within and outside from contracting ebola, as Nigeria, our main trading partner in Africa had been facing since July 20, 2014 when Patrick Sawyer sneaked into the country aboard a flight with the deadly virus.”
He however, noted that the border closure and temporary suspension of flights to and from Nigeria will be for a minimum of one month. He also advised Cameroonian citizens to take the closure of borders and flight suspension seriously in protecting their lives and property.
“The border closures with our main trading partner will be lifted, as soon as Nigeria contains the spread of the deadly viral disease. We also urge all border security agencies of the two countries to be vigilant by complying with this border closures made yesterday (Saturday) by the foreign office here in Ngaudore,” said Boukkari.
The affected border outposts in Borno state include, Kirawa, Duji, Mallam Fatori, Gamboru, Banki, Damba/Masara, Baga, Danbaure, Sigal and Jilbe, 145 kilometres northeast of Maiduguri, the state capital.

Smh who cares..I heard somalia has closed their boarders too..
I wish nigeria can learn a few lesson from all these and start been real indepenedent to themselves ...build a good education system that will keep the smart ones here, build a strong a economy by manufacturing a good percent of things you consume, build a secure society where atleast 70% bad ppl go to jail.. and you see how others will worship you instead of cutting you out at any slightest excuse...

It's better to be safe than sorry, another country can't be suffering because of Nigeria's incompetence all in the name of politics. I bet the jokers in power don't know the implication of having an epidemic. Instead being resolute in the fight against Ebola, we are constantly being lies to by the health minister and the FG.

Ordinary Cameroon! I hope our leaders learn to make Nigeria an enviable country. If it were the USA that got infected, people will still be trooping to get their visa. Well I can't blame the Cameroon government, they are trying to protect their citizen unlike us here.

himkers: who use to go to cameroon sef ?? Of what economic importance is Cameroon to Nigeria?? When better countries are closing their borders, cameroon too will want to follow suit....

FYI 4 millions Nigerians are living in this country because of many reasons in which stability! Secondly Boko Haram thing you we're unable to fight makes people escape from your country to mine everyday and their number is increasing ...but now the border is closed this is what we call a responsible authority. So please instead of being arrogant and talking about economy you'd rather training a good army( as you re supposed to be the "giant" and teaching your people what is patriotic spirit and maybe this betrayal context you people are living with because of your gvt won't happen again. Being rich in a chaos doesn't mean anything . In Cameroon 300 ethnic groups know how to live together because this is about our flag and NOT village . Plus Cameroonian gvt tought you another lesson: how to protect their people can you tell me the same regarding your country? I don' t think so... Cameroon may not have the same economy like yours but please many people in which your brothers prefer 1 million times living in the neighbour country than the so called "Giant" and we all know the reason. So please calm down

French slaves also wanna feel important..

emmanuel4758: how does that concern me ..spit on you ...mtchew

Who is talking to you? Lol

I do not blame cameroon for taking such action, at least they are being proactive and they value the lives of their citizens. That's what nigeria should have done with all the countries effected with ebola, but hey, every dickkk and tom even from affected country flew in and and out without being screened at least, not until patric came. And behold we have it, then they started running around like bleating goats. The ministry of health and aviation deserve to be sacked for negligence.

himkers:
