It's four years since Stella Adadevoh died. She's believed to be instrumental in saving Nigeria from Ebola and paid for it with her life. Doesn't bear thinking what would have happened if Ebola spread here.
We must celebrate our heroes. https://t.co/DlFALV17OM— Stephanie Busari (@StephanieBusari) August 20, 2018
