AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoEbola Preparedness: Nigeria’s health agency (NCDC) has put multiple states on high Ebola preparedness alert after a fresh risk assessment linked to outbreaks in the DRC and Uganda, warning Nigeria has no confirmed cases yet but importation risk is high due to travel, population movement, porous borders, and symptoms that can look like malaria or Lassa fever. Risk Map: NCDC named Lagos, FCT, Rivers, Kano, Enugu, Borno, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Taraba, and Adamawa as high-risk, while Niger State is listed among moderate-risk states—urging readiness levels to match local risk. Health Security in Niger: A Niger State doctor, head of medical services at New Bussa General Hospital, remains in captivity 33 days after an April 22 abduction, with reports of a N20 million ransom and fears he’s been forced to treat injured captors; medical workers are calling for stronger protection of healthcare facilities. School Safety & Child Health: Reports highlight ongoing child vulnerability amid insecurity, including recent school kidnappings and the broader health impact of unsafe learning environments. Nutrition Support in Niger: The Aliko Dangote Foundation, with Niger State, distributed 25,000 bags of 10kg rice to vulnerable households across all 25 local government areas, aiming to ease hardship ahead of Eid.
