 FIRST IMPORTED EBOLA CASE: NIGERIA EVACUATES INDEX CASE TO SWITZERLAND AS CONTAINMENT MEASURES CONTINUE The Nigeria’s confirmed Ebola index case has been medically evacuated from Abuja to Switzerland, following approval by the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Muhammad Ali Pate. The forty-two-year-old patient, whose case marked Nigeria’s first imported Ebola virus disease case, was transferred alongside her spouse, who has remained asymptomatic. In a statement posted on his X handle, Professor Pate said the patient was clinically much improved, stable, conscious and able to communicate, with laboratory test results approaching baseline levels.

 NCAA DIRECTS IBOM AIR TO COMPENSATE PASSENGERS AFFECTED BY FLIGHT CANCELATION 


The Nigerian civil aviation authority (NCAA) has directed Ibom air to compensate passengers affected by the cancellation of a scheduled flight on Friday september 5th, 2025,  following complaints of poor service from some customers. 


The directive came after a passenger took to social media platform 'x' to decry the airline's handling of the disruption.


The passenger alleged that the airline first rescheduled the 3:30 p.M. Flight to 5:20 p.M. Before, later asking passengers to return for their luggage.


Responding through his x handle, the  director of public affairs and consumer protection of the ncaa Michael Achimugu  explained that the disruption was triggered by a technical issue with the aircraft operating the route earlier in the day. 


 This he said is considered force majeure. The delay had a knock-on effect on all other routes serviced by that aircraft noting that safety concerns made it impossible for the airline to proceed with the flight as planned.


The ncaa spokesperson stated that ibom air had already provided hotel accommodation to some stranded passengers and assured that all affected travelers would receive emails offering 25 percent compensation. 


 He explained that flight disruptions happen, where the airline would be sanctioned is if they fail to comply with part 19 of the ncaa regulations, per care for the passengers. In this case, that care is being provided, adding that  ibom air's record is one of the most punctual in the industry, stressing that nigeria's airspace remains safe because aircraft are not allowed to operate once any safety risk is identified.
