The Federal Government
said on Tuesday that the country was still under Ebola alert and surveillance. The government’s fresh
warning is coming one year after the World Health Organization certified
Nigeria free of the Ebola Virus Disease.
The
Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Health, Mr. Linus Awute, said this at
a press briefing on Tuesday evening in Abuja.
The
press conference was held to commemorate the WHO certification one year ago.
According
to Awute, Nigeria cannot rest until when “transmission of the disease in human
population reaches zero in West Africa.”
