The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) says it has intensified surveillance and preparedness measures nationwide over the Ebola outbreak in parts of Africa.
The agency said the move followed the World Health Organisation’s declaration of the outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
The Director-General of NCDC, Jide Idris, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
Mr Idris said Nigeria had not recorded any confirmed case of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) linked to the current regional outbreak.
He, however, said the agency had maintained heightened surveillance and preparedness activities across the country in response to rising cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.
