President Muhammadu Buhari has come out to warn West African leaders under the umbrella of the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS to avoid laxity in the battle against the coronavirus pandemic.
Buhari recently revealed that the virus is yet to reach its peak in the sub-region so leaders must do everything possible to curb its spread.
According to him, the fast intervention made to the West African Health Organisation (WAHO) and the Africa Centre for Disease Control by the Jack Ma Foundation is very commendable and praiseworthy.
He added that support so far received from development partners such as the European Union, African Development Bank, France, and Germany has also been instrumental in the distribution of medical supplies.
“The President expressed appreciation on behalf of ECOWAS member-states for the “swift interventions made to the West African Health Organisation (WAHO) and the Africa Centre for Disease Control by the Jack Ma Foundation,” while also commending the support so far received from “development partners such as the European Union, African Development Bank, France and Germany for their financial contributions in the procurement of medical supplies.”
“He urged member-states to work closely in order to overcome the pandemic in the sub-region.”
