As part of efforts aimed at battling the spread of Ebola virus disease in Nigeria, the Nigerian government in partnership with the government of Lagos state are recruiting volunteers.
The recruited volunteers according to a notice made available to HealthNewsNG.com will be part of a robust containment strategy that has been developed to be implemented at all levels.
To ensure the effectiveness of the response strategy, volunteers are
being deployed to support several areas of work. While volunteering is
usually done as a means of giving back to society, the Federal
Government of Nigeria and the Lagos State Government have partnered to
make available some compensation packages as a means of demonstrating
our gratitude for volunteers' your selfless services.
They said the hazardous jobs will have
hazard packages that include life insurance.
Find below the rest of the release as signed by Lagos state health commissioner, Dr. Jide Idris.
If you are a graduate and would like to volunteer, please come daily
