A female student of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife  suspected to be a secondary contact of Ebola have been moved to Lagos for proper attention, the Public Relations Officer of the university has said. Mr. Biodun Olarewaju late on Tuesday explained that a female student of the institution who is suspected to be a  secondary contact of the Ebola Virus Disease in Port-Harcourt, presented sick at the University Health Centre. "After a clinical assessment by the Ebola Surveillance Preparedness and Response Committee of the University, the authorities thereafter contacted the State Ministry of Health, the Federal Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation(WHO). 


"The female suspected secondary Ebola contact has since been evacuated to the appropriate facility in Lagos for further investigations to confirm her status." While emphasising that the student illness was not a confirmed Ebola case, Olarewaju said appropriate preventive and protective measures have been taken. 



He added, "In the meantime, the National team and the World Health Organisation team on Ebola Control have promptly decontaminated the University Health Centre despite the fact that the case is yet to be confirmed. "The University authorities wish to emphasise the fact that the case is not a confirmed case of Ebola Virus Disease and therefore request all members of the University Community to remain calm as the situation is fully under control."
