Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Aminu Bashir Wali
By Damilola Oyedele
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Aminu Bashir Wali has
cautioned against stigmatising citizens of countries that have been
affected by the Ebola Virus Disease, rather to work with such countries
to contain the spread of the disease.
He particularly cautioned against closures of national borders, flight
bans, as such remain contrary to guidelines of the World Health
Organisation in combating the spread of the virus.
He made this call, weekend, at a meeting of Foreign Ministers of
Commonwealth Nations which held on the sidelines of the ongoing 69th UN
General Assembly in New York.
Wali, who was represented by the Director of his office, Ambassador
Sola Enikanolaiye added that discrimination was inconsistent with the
values of the Commonwealth.
Nigeria, he stressed, has successfully contained the spread of the disease, and has no single case of EVD presently.
