Ebola: Why schools, govt. institutions must not be closed – Jonathan

Date:

don’t even want you to enter the countries. Our athletes were segregated in China. They had to return to the country. A place like China asked Ministers of the Federal Republic to show prove of Ebola free certificate! Very discouraging. And what people don’t know is that as long as you close your institutions because of Ebola, the Ambassadors that are here with us and the High Commissioners send what you call dispatches to their home states about what is happening in our country monthly.

“As long as we Nigerians close all our public institutions because of Ebola, the dispatch that goes to the whole world is that Ebola is a problem in Nigeria. And as long as we declare that Ebola is a problem in Nigeria, any Nigerian that travels out will be treated as someone that has Enola. We have been able to manage Ebola and the whole world is happy with us and we must tell the whole world that we have managed Enola and no Nigerian should be segregated because of Ebola,” he stressed.
