Answer:

Nigeria

Step-by-step explanation:

On July 20, 2014, the ebola virus was introduced into Nigeria due to an infected Liberian man who arrived into Lagos by airplane. In the following days, a total of 19 people were infected, and 7 of these died. However, Nigeria possessed strong leadership and effective support from the global community, and in October 20, Nigeria reached the 42 days mark that declares a country free of ebola.
