In a recent development, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has challenged President Bola Tinubu to account for the N10 billion announced for Ebola preparedness, following a confirmed case in Abuja. According to Vanguard News, Atiku alleged that the government’s response has exposed serious gaps in surveillance and the protection of health workers. The former Vice President demanded an explanation from the President on how the emergency funds were spent. This challenge comes as concerns continue to mount over the country’s preparedness and response to potential outbreaks of infectious diseases, particularly Ebola. It is important to note that the N10 billion was allocated to strengthen the country’s health infrastructure and improve disease surveillance and response mechanisms. However, the details of how these funds have been utilized remain unclear. The President’s office has not yet responded to these allegations.
