FG orders tighter Ebola screening at Nigeria’s entry points
Nigeria's Federal Government has ordered stricter enforcement of Ebola screening protocols at every point of entry into the country. Checks will intensify at arrival terminals and border posts across the federation. Health officials want to stop cross-border transmission before the virus can gain a foothold inside Nigeria. The sharpened protocols come amid concern about Ebola movement in the wider region. Screening teams can be expected to step up temperature checks and isolate anyone showing symptoms of the disease. The government has not said whether extra funding or personnel will back the tightened regime. Travelers should prepare for slower processing at busy crossings and terminals. Nigeria contained the virus quickly during the 2014 West African outbreak, and officials appear determined to repeat that performance.
