 WHO says staff shortage, funding challenges hamper Congo Ebola response Shortages of trained staff, operational partners and funding are causing a bottleneck in efforts ‌to expand the Ebola response in the Democratic Republic of Congo as the outbreak spreads geographically, a World Health Organization official said on Tuesday. The outbreak has spread beyond its initial epicentre in Bunia, affecting six provinces and prompting authorities to adopt a more decentralised strategy by building treatment centers ​closer to newly affected communities, the WHO said, Reuters reported. Congo's outbreak of the Bundibugyo species of Ebola has killed 3,175 ​people and infected more than 6,000, according to the WHO — making it the country's worst epidemic — ⁠and it is continuing to spread across its northeast.

The Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment has ordered the immediate closure of African Refractory and Allied Products Company in Ogun State after issuing a Prohibition Notice. 

A statement by the Minister of state for labour and employment Nkeiruka Onyejeocha stated that the decision followed an inspection which revealed hazardous working conditions, particularly workers’ exposure to silica dust that poses serious health risks.

The Ministry also identified regulatory concerns including licence renewal issues and discrepancies in the company’s operations, contrary to provisions of the Factories Act. The facility will remain shut while a joint team investigates compliance with occupational safety standards.
