This was disclosed by the Director-General of NCDC, Dr. Jide Idris, following an assessment of data from the National Influenza Sentinel Surveillance (NISS) system.

The NISS system, which comprises sentinel sites spread across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones, monitors Influenza-like Illness (ILI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Infections (SARI).

Despite global reports of rising HMPV cases, particularly in China, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, the NCDC’s surveillance up to January 6, 2025, showed no significant surge in respiratory illnesses in the country.

In light of global trends, the NCDC said it is implementing several measures to bolster Nigeria’s preparedness and response capabilities.
