In a bid to curb the spread of Ebola virus in
Nigeria, the general overseer of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet
Temitope Joshua has pledged his readiness to work with government to ensure the
virus is not spread through the church.

He made the promise during Lagos state government
and federal government delegates’ visit to the church on Sunday.
The visit, which was led by the Lagos State
Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris was said to be aimed at sensitizing the
church and its membership on the menace of the deadly Ebola virus and to ensure that no victim of the virus came into the
church from other countries.
Revealing the motive of the visit, Idris said the
delegation decided to pay the visit to the church because of the recognition
that it was an international Christian centre whose congregation comprised
people from all over the world, including the
countries of the West African sub-Region which had already been infected by the
Ebola disease.
Prophet Joshua therefore promised to work with
government and made it known that the church is also taking steps to curtail
the spread of the disease in Nigeria. One of such measures according to him is
to visit any of the countries, rather than allow their residents come into
Nigeria.
He said “I am ready to work with you. I love my
country and I will be ready to work with you. Even if it is a rumour, there is
need to secure our environment to ensure that it is safe.
