The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) said it has heightened surveillance at airports following the confirmation of an Ebola Virus Disease case in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday night by FAAN’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Henry Agbebire.
FAAN said it was working with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC), Port Health Services, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and other agencies to support containment efforts.
The authority said early detection and contact tracing underscored the importance of effective surveillance and inter-agency collaboration.
It assured passengers and airport workers of its continued vigilance, urging travellers and other stakeholders to cooperate with health officials and avoid spreading unverified information.
FAAN reaffirmed its commitment to working with relevant agencies to protect public health and ensure safe airport operations.
