KUDOS TO THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT FOR ITS EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT OF THE EBOLA OUTBREAK

  Failure has become a constance in the Nigerian socio-political panorama that a lot of us have likened our great nation to a sure malfunctioning society where nothing positive ever works, but some individuals and a group of persons sometimes continue to prove that if there is a genuine will excellence can be achieved even with very limited means.

  I think that the Nigerian government and especially the Nigerian health ministry deserve an encomium for the functional way it is managing the Ebola outbreak in our country; information-wise and even in the management of confirmed Ebola victims. The reaction to the emergency has really been positive and very effective.

  I want to commend their good efforts so far and implore them to continue to work assiduously towards the prevention and the management of the disease pending the time that a vaccine or a cure would be discovered. So far, five diagnosed Ebola patients have been treated successfully by the Nigeria health workers following the W.H.O protocol of action in cases like this and have since been confirmed Ebola free, According to the health minister Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, none of the newly discovered antidote was used in the treatment of the patients, the Nigerian medical experts only used the primary W.H.O index treatment procedure.

  As we commend our government for a good job, we want to continue to advice our people to respect all the warnings and preventive measures put in place by the Nigerian health ministry especially that of washing our hands thoroughly, remember, prevention is always better than cure.
