GentleMimi: I'm very sure my ears and eyes were functioning to fullest capacity when i heard and read abt the release of such funds. Now story don change. This is pathetic!
Unfortunately,when this ebola ish is over,everyone will want to take the glory,claiming to have curbed the crisis. The real heroes are the late Doc. Adadevoh and her health team,also the few volunteers at the isolation centre. I will also applaud the state govt for quick response. It is really sad. I pray we never encounter this again. I got an ''internal info'' that Adadevoh's hospital was responsible for providing the food and drugs for its staff at the isolation center.
But if i may ask,what has the government learnt from this? Have measures been put in place to avoid further future occurence? Facilities and infrastructures to help contain ebola? Or are we still exposed and helpless? I do not think we've learnt from the ongoing ebola battle.

Sincere9gerian: What is wrong with this minister of health? Why not use the funds to set up world class isolation centres with well trained staff for hemorrhagic diseases or other highly infectious deadly diseases in select existing FG tertiary hospitals? Why not use part of the funds to support research on ebola and other hemorrhagic diseases? What about procurement of adequate barrier nursing tools and PPE in the existing in the hospitals? This minister should better get his acts together.

I guess the minister made this pronouncement because he feels the current outbreak of ebola has been effectively contained, but while that maybe true, we should begin now to prepare for the next outbreak of ebola, other hemorrhagic diseases or any other highly infectious and deadly disease. We should be proactive for once.

I am the NUMBER ONE supporter of GEJ govt but that does not stop me from criticizing (constructively) actions or inactions of either the president himself or any of his appointees. If APC e-warriors have been engaged in constructive criticisms, there would not have been all the e-fights on this platform.

RockMaxi:

I hope I am not reading the article upside down, what happened to the Health ministry's budget prior to Ebola outbreak. Vehicles and drugs that have been ordered ,

I hope your leader, Tinubu, is recuperating in the world class hospital he travelled to abroad, of course at the expense of the tax paying and long suffering Lagosians?

drsteroid: I believe Nigeria is winning this war against ebola.This is one of Goodluck's major achievement as a president.kudos 2 him,our honourable Minister of health n Nigerians.If we support d govt in other aspects of d economy just as we all supported in the management of ebola,d country wil be beta 4 all 2 liv

sunnyshayne: In naija when they say money has been ear marked to buy cars, it means

' the money Don loss'

vislabraye:

Abi ? They cursed GEJ but the excuse they'll give is that Tinubu is a private citizen.

okparaugo: Sports cars abi Porsche Cayenne ?

Kirinwa:

You are very foolish if you think the threat of ebola is over.
There is what is called Budget allocation for different ministries of which they could use to buy cars if that's what they need.

NoW this money was given specifically for checking the ebola epidemic only for this useless Minister to divert it for another use altogether announcing that there's no new case of ebola so they should now shut all isolation centres abi?

I wish EBOLA will catch this man so that he will understand the implication of what he just did!
