Speaking at the end of the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in Abuja, the ministry said the council was briefed by the health ministry on the disease.
"The FEC was briefed by the Federal Ministry of Health on the alleged outbreak of Ebola virus in Nigeria. FEC was informed that the health ministry experts, within the week, checked out the reports of purported outbreak of the disease and found none to be true," Maku said.
He said the health ministry has assured it is prepared to contain the virus in the advent of an outbreak in the country.
"Citizens are reassured that there is no Ebola fever in the country and all the checks so far undertaken declare clearly that we don't have it. Yes, there are some cases in two or three West African countries but the ministry has assured that should there be anything like that within our boundary it will be quickly tackled," he said.
HealthNewsNG reported that the government issued a red alert and urged individuals with symptoms such as high fever, headache, severe abdominal pain, diarrhea and bleeding to report to the health authorities, especially individuals who had traveled to Guinea, Sierra Leone and/or Liberia.
