EHCON to Launch 145 Environmental Monitoring Units in Nigeria

The Environmental Health Council of Nigeria (EHCON) announced plans to establish 145 environmental monitoring units at points of entry across Nigeria to ensure screening of individuals entering the country. This announcement was made during a customer service sensitization event held on 21st October 2026 at EHCON's Headquarters in Abuja.

The event, organized in collaboration with SERVICOM, aimed to strengthen service delivery and promote professional ethics. The Registrar/CEO of EHCON, represented at the event, emphasized the importance of customer satisfaction and the role of EHCON staff as ambassadors of the Council.

He urged all officers to treat clients with empathy and professionalism. The event's timing was critical due to reports of an Ebola outbreak in Abuja, highlighting the need for vigilance among EHCON staff as frontline workers.

Additionally, EHCON officers conducted an environmental assessment visit to the office of the Director of Humanitarian Affairs, Dr. Apkarawa Eze, identifying several environmental and safety concerns that require attention.
