The Nigerian Senate has called for emergency funding to combat the recent Ebola outbreak, as well as the implementation of mandatory health screenings at the nation’s borders. According to reports from The Guardian Nigeria News and the News Agency of Nigeria, this measure is in response to the ongoing outbreak that has affected several West African countries. The Senate’s call comes amidst increasing concerns over the spread of the virus within Nigeria’s borders. However, it is unclear how much funding the Senate is seeking or when the mandatory health screenings will be implemented. The US has also issued a health advisory to its citizens in Nigeria, urging them to take precautions against the virus. This move by the Senate and the US advisory highlights the growing urgency to address the Ebola outbreak in Nigeria.
