The Federal Government through the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) yesterday said the country is prepared for another Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak.

The assurances is on the sideline of the fatality of the outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which has spread from the countryside into a city, prompting fears that the disease will be increasingly hard to control.

Forty-four people have been infected and 23 people are known to have died.
