According to US CDC, "Nigeria's first reported case of Ebola surfaced
July 20, when Patrick Sawyer landed in Lagos from Liberia and exposed
72 other passengers to the virus. Nigeria's Health officials quickly
issued notifications and tracked everybody who may have been in contact
with Sawyer.
Nigeria also established an Ebola Incident Management Center to
handle the potential outbreak and developed a staffing plan that
executed a social mobilization strategy that reached more than 26,000
households of people living around the contacts of Ebola patients,
The deadly virus has killed more than 3,000 people in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia in the largest outbreak ever recorded.
