Wife of the Senate President and founder, Wellbeing Foundation, Mrs. Toyin Saraki, has called on the government to scale up border surveillance to curtail the possible spread of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), into the country.
Saraki, who made this known over the weekend at the maiden edition of ‘Walk for Health Challenge’, organised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Abuja, maintained that Nigeria was still at risk of contracting the Ebola Virus.
“We are sufficiently now sensitised in Nigeria but we must not rest on our oars. We do have to step up border surveillance to ensure that we know what is going on and who is coming in.
“I have every confidence in the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC). We cannot guarantee that Ebola will come or not come into Nigeria, but what we can do is try to be ready and hope we do not get it” she said. While commending the WHO in providing about 5,000 vaccines in its efforts to contain the disease from further spread to areas not affected in the Democratic Republic of Congo, she urged the citizenry to imbibe a high level of hygiene, especially consistent hand washing with soap both in schools and public places. “We are all ready to work with the NCDC when they bring out their advisory.
One thing we can do is to make sure we have hygiene in our schools, our offices and in our environment,” she added. On his part, the WHO representative to Nigeria, Dr. Wondi Alemu, noted that all necessary precautionary measures were being put in place both by WHO and the Nigerian government, to ensure Ebola does not resurface in Nigeria. “There are preparations from Nigeria.
We are working with the Ministry of Health particular NCDC. We are preparing ourselves and also making the necessary precautionary measures to prevent Ebola from coming into the country.” Alemu also urged all Nigerians to imbibe the habit of regular exercises and other healthy activities aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle.

....

k

Not again

hmm

"How does a government that does not care about the value of life have time for EBOLA..?

We should only pray Ebola doesn't enter our country. If not, .....

Do not place your life in the hands of government.. Protect yourself .

You can start by buying sanitizer now that it is still cheap.

Ok

Madam the Hunger here Pass Ebola oh

Why must bad news always be prepared for in country?

Why can't we prepare for good news? Any strange disease discovered in any part of the universe must have a presence in this country. Why?

We don't need this now please. We could cope in the last administration, not this that lawyers are heading ministries,
and lowerr ranking officers are heading national posts

Ok

clamouring for contract, long live saraki's of kwara

has she seen a vision to that effect? well good advice though

Elected fools why not ban movement from Congo to Nigeria

OK. well keep praying.

Is this woman mad?

I pray it doesn't o.... This government is so useless that they are incapable of doing anything aside blaming. They can blame PDP of sending Ebola back.


They are yet to curb Lassa fever in months now, deadly Ebola will be a bad news for people whose focus is only on 2019.

Hmm

The fear of Ebola is the beginning of fear.

The fear of Buhari's incompetence in tackling all issues is the middle of fear.

The fear of the Nigerian populace left at the mercy of these wicked government during an ebola outbreak while they blame Jonathan is the end of fear.

So fear fear as long as Buhari and his incompetent appointees are in power.

Deliver us from evil dear God.
