FG Confirms 10th Ebola Case In Lagos «

The Federal Government has confirmed another
Ebola case in Lagos bringing the total number of
Ebola Virus Disease victims to 10, even as 177
primary and secondary contacts of the index
case have been placed under surveillance or
isolation.
At a world media briefing in Abuja Monday, the
Minister of Health Prof Onyebuchi Chukwu said
of these 10 cases, 2 have died (the Liberian
American and the Nigerian nurse) while 8 are
alive and currently on treatment.
This is the situation 22 days since the dreaded
EVD first landed in Nigeria.
At the sub regional level, the Ebola Virus Disease
was discussed as a substantive agenda during
the Summit of the Authority of Heads of State
and Government in Accra Ghana.
Chukwu said Nigeria, as usual, played its
leading, pioneering and compassionate role
during the Summit with the first and only
donation of USD3.5 million humanitarian and
capacity building aid to the three affected
countries of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone,
the West African Health Organization (WAHO),
and the ECOWAS Ebola Fund.
