Dr Khaliru Alhassan Ebola Could Return To Nigeria In December, Health Minister Warns
The health minister is worried that if we are not careful, Ebola could return to Nigeria in December when Nigerians all over the world come back home to celebrate Christmas and the new year. I think it is very smart that he is worried about this. That is his job. Some people will say he should not have said that in order to avoid panic, but I think it’s better to put people on alert so they can be more vigilant.
Nigeria not completely free from Ebola -Minister
The Health Minister, Dr Haliru Alhassan, has raised the fear over a [possible] resurgence of Ebola Virus Disease in Nigeria.
He spoke on the occasion marking the upgrading of Federal Medical Centre , Ido Ekiti, to a Federal Teaching Hospital and the signing of Memorandum of Understanding between the Federal Government and Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, on Saturday.
Expressing worry over the nationwide strike embarked upon by the Joint Health Staff Union, the minister said Nigeria was not free from Ebola as long as there were reported cases of the deadly virus in any part of the world.
Alhassan, who appealed to all concerned to sustain the leadership role of President Goodluck Jonathan in tackling the deadly disease, saidthe indefinite strike action embarked upon by JOHESU at a time when many Nigerians would return home from abroad to celebrate Christmas and New Year, could threaten the success achieved.
