| Nigeria's Health Minister |
Nigerians can heave a sigh of relief as the Federal
Government has announced that there are no new cases of the deadly Ebola Virus
Disease in the country.
This was announced by the Health Minister, Professor
Onyebuchi Chukwu while briefing newsmen after the weekly Federal Executive
meeting held at Aso Rock in Abuja Wednesday.
The Minister said the case of the undergraduate student in
Ile Ife suspected to have contacted the disease has tested negative, and was
subsequently discharged. He also said that the South African Woman who was
detained at the Airport on suspicion of having the virus, has also tested
negative, and has returned back to her country.
This will come as a welcome relief to Nigerians, but the
truth is that caution needs to be taken until the rest of West Africa have been
declared free from the virus.
