Following the recent outbreak of the Ebola virus in
West Africa, and the first recorded death in
Nigeria, a courtesy visit has been paid to the
General Overseer of the Synagogue Church of All
Nation, Prophet T.B Joshua, by the Lagos State
Government, which was led by the State
Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris, at its
Ikotun Egbe headquarters.
Dr. Jide Idris and his delegations were at the
office of the Man of God to discuss with him on
the best ways of controlling his crusades in order
not to allow victims of the Ebola virus into his
church and the country.
According to him, “We have our strategies that we
intend to share with you. Again, we need to know
the resources you have here because whether it is
one or two cases, if they are allowed to get out, it
is a major problem. We are here to work together
on how to contain this disease.”
Acknowledging their visit, Prophet T.B Joshua,
promised to work with the government to avert
the spread of the virus and stated that instead of
allowing people from other countries to come into
Nigeria, he will take his crusade to their countries,
adding that he will now suspend some of his
church healing programmes.
“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,” he noted.
