Osun State Governor Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola said yesterday that the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) was a security challenge to any country.
He said it was a scourge, which should be tackled.
The governor, who convened a state security council and stakeholders’ meeting on the prevention of the EVD, at the Government House Banquet Hall, said any country under the threat of the epidemic risked losing its sovereignty.
He said efforts should be made to prevent the disease from spreading to the state.
Aregbesola said most of the countries affected by EVD were almost loosing their sovereignty.
He added: “We should not see the disease as an ordinary health challenge. It is a deadly disease, which should be tackled.”
