The Federal Government is to inaugurate a National Lassa Fever Action Committee in view of the outbreak of Lassa fever recorded in the country.
This hint is contained in a press release, signed by Mrs Boade Akinola, Director Media and Public Relation in the Federal Ministry of Health, and made available to newsmen on Sunday.
The statement, quoting the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewale, indicated that the ministry would convene an Emergency National Council on Health meeting to discuss the on-going Lassa fever outbreak in the country.
According to the statement, the committee will be inaugurated during the emergency meeting, scheduled to hold on Jan. 19.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Minister put the number of reported cases to 129.
He made this known on Jan.14 while addressing the Senate Committee on Health, headed by Sen. Lanre Tejuoso, on the outbreak of the disease in Nigeria.(NAN)

This should have been done before announcement...but instead you people were there blaming GEJ.


Imagine if GEJ wasted precious time blaming Liberia for Ebola.

Good one
Hope it won't stop at just mere inauguration?

I guess the govt are not serious at all, when the disease has died about 40 people, still to inaugurate committee

Its actually a rare privilege for me to be of help!

To start with,I want you to know that Diabetes is one
health challenge that can keep someone in a "cage"
if quick steps are not taken to halt it.

The reason is not farfetched from the several restrictions
a sufferer must observe especially when it comes to eating
those things you love.You can't just eat what you feel like
eating.

Unfortunately,over 3 million Nigerians are currently in this
"Cage" because they have been diagnosed with Diabetes.

The good news is that you can commence your own journey
to freedom from the information available here.
