The House of Representatives has announced plans to investigate the management of Nigeria's N10 billion Ebola emergency fund, inter-agency coordination efforts, and state governments' preparedness following the confirmation of an imported Ebola case in the country. Speaker Abbas Tajudeen highlighted the importance of inter-agency coordination, timely release of emergency funds, and transparent spending during a public hearing on the Ebola outbreak.
He emphasized the need to strengthen public health security and warned against complacency, recalling the 2014 Ebola experience where early detection and effective coordination were crucial in containing the outbreak. The Speaker stressed that while the recent imported case had been evacuated without any onward transmission, vigilance was required to prevent a recurrence and urged all tiers of government to share the responsibility for disease containment.
