The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin,
Prof. AbduGaniyu Ambali, says all students will
be screened for the Ebola Virus Disease before
entering the campus. Ambali stated this on Monday while unveiling
preventive kits worth N1.2 million at the
university’s health centre.
“The procurement of the anti-Ebola kits is
part of the university’s preparedness to
tackle the epidemic headlong,” the vice
chancellor said.
The kits, he said, included face masks, boots,
hand gloves, automatic soap dispenser,
infrared thermometer and disposable bed
spreads.
The vice-chancellor commended members of
the institution’s Ebola Response Committee for
their foresight and prompt response.
Ambali, however, charged the university’s
health workers to be alert and follow laid
down procedures in the case of an outbreak.
The university’s Director of Health Services, Dr
Mary Ajiboye, who presented the equipment to
the vice chancellor, said the kits were for the
protection of staff and students.
“ The committee would place the hand
sanitisers in strategic locations on the
campus such as the Senate Building, faculties,
walkways and Unilorin FM station,” she said.
