Ebola would have been a bigger disaster for Nigeria if Sawyer had reached a church for healing –Chukwu, former health minister – Punch Newspapers
In July 2014, Ebola virus disease found its way into Nigeria after an infected Liberian Government official named Patrick Sawyer arrived in Lagos. Also, I spoke with the then Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babatunde Fashola, the Lagos State Commissioner for Health at the time, Dr Jide Idris. Once in a while, you had personality clashes but the attitude I adopted was that Ebola virus disease was not an opportunity to play politics. My office received countless foreign visitors because of how we were able to contain Ebola virus disease. I think God used the Ebola virus disease to lift me up as a person.
