Nigeria ‘not 100% ready’ for possible Ebola emergency, says NCDC

Nigeria's NCDC Director-General disclosed the country's Ebola preparedness stands at 59%, with critical gaps at points of entry — especially porous land borders — driving intensified surveillance and state-level infrastructure assessments. For public health and risk teams, the combination of sub-60% readiness across a nation managing 7-8 concurrent outbreaks signals that regional supply chain and operational continuity planning should account for potential health emergency disruptions.
