Ebola: Adamawa activates emergency response system

Adamawa State has activated its Rapid Response Team, Emergency Operations Centre and infectious disease centre to prepare for possible Ebola cases. Surveillance officers and notification focal persons across all 21 local government areas are on high alert, and a public campaign will explain transmission, symptoms and the need to report suspected cases promptly. Authorities urged residents to remain calm, practise hand hygiene and avoid contact with bodily fluids from anyone suspected of infection. The measures follow Nigeria’s confirmation of an imported case of the Bundibugyo strain in a woman who travelled from Uganda to Abuja on October 3, 2026.
