In a statement on Tuesday, the NCDC said it was closely monitoring the situation and working with regional and international partners to prevent cross-border transmission. The agency urged Nigerians, especially those traveling to and from affected areas, to remain vigilant and adhere to recommended safety guidelines.
Health experts warn that Ebola spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids of infected persons, stressing the importance of early detection, hygiene, and prompt reporting of suspected cases.
The NCDC also reassured citizens that Nigeria’s health system is on alert, with surveillance and response teams prepared to act swiftly should any case be detected.
Residents have been advised not to panic but to stay informed and cooperate with health authorities as measures are put in place to protect the public.
