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, said the 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
