The Federal Government of Nigeria has provided drugs worth
more than $249,000 to Sierra Leone, a statement by the Ministry of Health said
yesterday, Thursday.
“Nigeria made the donation at the request of the government
of Sierra Leone,” the statement said, noting Nigeria, Africa’s most populous
country, had already mobilized and trained over 600 health workers as
volunteers to support the containment effort in affected countries within the
region under the leadership of the Economic Community Of West African States.
The Ebola virus has killed more than 5,000 people mostly in
Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea.
