Ebola :No Device To Check Passengers At PortHarcourt Airport Yet-TUC Cries Out

Rivers State Chapter of Trade Union Congress ,TUC has raised alarm over absence of equipment to check passengers leaving or entering Port Harcourt International Airport,days after the Ebola VirUS Disease was confirmed in the city.
Comrade Hyginus Chika Onuegbu, TUC) Rivers State chairman who is the immediate past PENGASSAN national industrial relations officer said in a statement Sunday “The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC)Rivers State is shocked that despite the confirmation of Ebola Virus Disease(EVD) in Rivers State that the authorities of Port Harcourt International Airport have not put anything in place to check passengers entering and leaving the airport.
“Not even the temperature check device is in the airport. We view this as callous and irresponsible and immediately call on the authorities of FAAN, NCAA and all agencies in the Port Harcourt international airport to immediately ensure that they check all passengers entering and leaving the airport.
“We are tempted to think that if the authorities of FAAN in Port Harcourt were up and doing, perhaps the diplomat that imported Ebola from Lagos to Port Harcourt may have been detected.
TUC appealed “ to the Hon. Ministers for Health and aviation to immediately ensure that the complete facilities and processes employed at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport Lagos are fully deployed to the two airports in Port Harcourt.”
