No Ebola Case In Sokoto – Commissioner

As the rave of the Ebola outbreak continues to go viral, the Sokoto State commissioner of health, Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu yesterday assured of the state’s preventive measures already put in place alongside public sensitisation though the state was not having any case of the disease.

He said despite the fact that the state ministry of health has not received any report about the disease in the state, it deemed it necessary to set up sensitisation campaign as part of proactive measures across the length and breadth of the state to avoid being caught unawares.

Speaking at a public lecture on Ebola organised by the Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital (UDUTH), Sokoto and held at Sultan Maccido Institute of Qu’ranic and General Studies, the commissioner called on traditional and religious leaders to help in disseminating the message to their rural subjects.

Aliyu said, “It was in view of this that the state government set up detection centres in the three senatorial districts of the state which include Gwadabawa, Shagari and Tangaza local government areas for referrals and investigation purposes.
