ExxonMobil has provided $250,000 in emergency funding to help fight the Ebola epidemic in Nigeria. The grant to the CDC Foundation will enable the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to work with the Nigerian Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization to produce a two-day training program for health care workers to enhance their skills in infection control.
In addition, ExxonMobil’s affiliates in Nigeria have also provided materials and expert support, including:
1. Personal protective equipment and non-contact infrared thermometers to the Akwa Ibom State Ministry of Health
2. Vehicles to support the Port Harcourt Ebola Emergency Operations Center
3. A team of experts from Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, who will train health care workers in Akwa Ibom State.
Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited (MPN) and Esso Exploration and Production Nigeria Limited (EEPNL) are affiliates of Exxon Mobil Corporation. The donation was being made by the ExxonMobil Foundation.
