Nigeria recorded no new Ebola cases 21 days after an imported infection, the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) said.
The NCDC said the country remains vigilant and that the absence of new cases is a positive sign for public health officials.
In a statement, the agency urged healthcare workers in both public and private facilities to remain alert, to ask patients about their travel history and possible exposure, and to promptly notify public health authorities when Ebola is suspected.
The warning follows the identification of the first imported case 21 days ago, which prompted the NCDC to intensify surveillance and reporting measures.
As Africa's most populous country, Nigeria’s careful monitoring of Ebola highlights the importance of early detection and rapid response to prevent further spread.
