 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.

 SENATE APPROVES ₦11 TRILLION CUSTOMS REVENUE TARGET FOR 2026

The Nigeria Customs Service has received the backing of the Senate, which approved the Service’s proposed revenue target of more than ₦11 trillion for 2026.


The Senate, while considering the report of the Committee on Customs and Excise, noted what it described as the excellent performance of the Service in the 2025 fiscal year.


This led to a surpassing of that year’s target, rising from ₦6.5 trillion to ₦7.2 trillion,  representing more than a 10% increase.


Among strategies to be adopted to meet the target are, deployment of technology for automation, real time audit and improving turnover time on imports and exports as well as anti smuggling operations.
