Public health physicians have called for
more vigilance at the border posts in order to prevent a recurrence of
the dreaded Ebola Virus Disease in the country.
The appeal is coming on the heels of the
reported return of the disease in.....
two West African countries of Liberia
and Sierra Leone, last week.
According to a member of the Ebola
Prevention Committee in Nigeria, Dr. Oladoyin Odubanjo, the Federal
Government needs to the strengthen the precautionary and screening
methods in order to forestall a return of the disease.
Odubanjo noted that proper screening of
passengers for the viral disease was a major precautionary measure to
prevent a similar scenario where by a Liberian-American diplomat,
Patrick Sawyer, imported the disease into Nigeria in 2014.
