The Vice-Chancellor of University of Ilorin (Unilorin), Prof. Abdulganiyu Ambali, has said the institution’s Ebola Research Committee is working toward developing a vaccine for the Ebola virus.

Ambali, who disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja, said the process of developing a vaccine was a long one.

“What is happening is that the committee is just monitoring events; in terms of the vaccine, it will take a while because there are processes that you have to follow before you develop a vaccine.

“For example, you have to isolate the virus; grow the virus; attenuate the virus; bring it out for testing; and then before the final usage.

“So those are the processes that any vaccine candidate will have to pass through before you can now use on victim.

“But right now what they are doing is monitoring events across the borders; and then we have put in place the facilities to be able to advise our staff as well as students that want to visit those places (High risk Ebola countries).

The vice-chancellor said the committee was monitoring developments in neighbouring countries, especially in Liberia where there was a resurgence of Ebola.

He said people, staff and students, who travelled, would be advised on proper precautionary measures, while those returning from high risk areas would be properly screened before entry.

They are still monitoring. That doesn't sound like development of vaccine to me.
Kudos to them if or when they start the vaccine preparation.
