Festus Keyamo, minister of aviation and aerospace development, has directed the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to place 46 persons who came in contact with an Ebola patient on a no-fly list for 21 days.
Keyamo announced the directive in an X post on Wednesday, following a virtual meeting with Muhammad Ali Pate, coordinating minister of health and social welfare, over the Ebola outbreak.
On Tuesday, Nigeria confirmed its first case of Ebola Bundibugyo virus disease (BVD), after a diplomat who reportedly arrived from Uganda fell ill in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
