The World health Organisation (WHO) yesterday 20th October 2014 announced that Nigeria is Ebola-free.

Rui Gama Vaz, the WHO representative made the declaration in the Nigerian capital. He qualified the news as a “spectacular success story” that goes to indicate that the virus can be contained.

That was good news not only for Nigeria but for Cameroon that shares a 1800km border, with this country of close to 150 million people.

That notwithstanding, Cameroon remains on the vanguard; officials have indicated that there shall be no relent in the efforts being put in place to protect Cameroonians.

Health workers are still being trained, isolation centres maintained and entry into Cameroon strictly controlled.
