The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has
disclosed that the Federal Government of Nigeria has
stepped up efforts at major international airports in the
county to combat the spread of the Ebola Virus Disease
(EVD).
General Manager, Corporate Affairs, FAAN, Mrs. Henrietta
Yakubu disclosed this on Thursday.
JOSHSPOT reports that the deadly Ebola Virus Disease,
which raged in some African countries, including Nigeria in
2014, has staged a return in northwest part of Democratic
Republic of Congo, DRC, killing 17 people.
The statement reads, “Following a fresh outbreak of the
deadly Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the
Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has re-assured
passengers and other airport users of safety across its
network of airports.
“Since the first recorded case of the virus in Nigeria,
through an American-Liberian, Patrick Sawyer, the Authority
has not relaxed its surveillance at the airports to forestall
any re-occurrence.
“All equipment and personnel used in combatting the virus
in 2014 are still very much at the airports.
“We have always had thermal scanners in our airports that
monitor temperature of passengers and capture their
pictures. We still have hand sanitisers in our restrooms too.

When passengers walk pass the scanners, it registers their
temperature. If yours is high, you are pulled aside for
observation.
“Relevant agencies, including the Port Health Services have
been mobilized and are collaborating effectively to ensure
the safety of passengers and airport users at all time.”
