lives across Central & West Africa may be on it’s way to Nigeria if
it isn’t here already. With the first case recorded in neighbouring
Ghana, and 10 deaths recorded in Liberia, the World Health Organization
said on Tuesday that it expects the disease to continue in West Africa
for the next few months. The disease is believed to be spread through
physical contact or contact with fluid of infected persons.It has no
cure and there are no preventative vaccines. The Minister of Health,
Onyebuchi Chukwu, however, said no case of the disease has been reported
in Nigeria. Continue to read what he said,

are already facing danger from Central African Republic, even with what
is happening in Congo; people are also migrating to Chad and Cameroon
are also in our borders. So Nigeria is in danger.
The minister said the he federal government will now do more to educate
Nigerians on the Ebola virus, through leaflets and jingles to be
produced in various languages and aired on Radio, TV and newspaper
adverts.West Africa is seeing the “most challenging” outbreak of Ebola virus since the disease was discovered 40 years ago. Personal hygienc is key! Get tips on how to keep yourself and your family, especially kids, safe from the Ebola virus
