The summit appointed me the<br \/>\nChampion to lead our efforts on fighting the pandemic in our region.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The President said the task before the international community remains<br \/>\ndaunting, and more needs to be done to reduce the impact of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, &#8220;It is now clearly evident that no nation can<br \/>\nindependently and singlehandedly tackle a pandemic of this nature which<br \/>\nis no respecter of borders, regions or status.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Invariably, enhancing multilateral cooperation through exchange and<br \/>\nsharing of best practices is imperative to overcome the disease. We<br \/>\nmust, therefore, form a united front against this common enemy by being<br \/>\ncoordinated and timely in our responses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Furthermore, we must all encourage and empower our scientists and<br \/>\nmedical experts to join the quest for a vaccine and cure to this<br \/>\nuniversal plague.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The President told Heads of State and Government of the Non-Aligned<br \/>\nMovement that the central role of the United Nations and the World<br \/>\nHealth Organization (WHO) in fighting the pandemic must be acknowledged<br \/>\nand leveraged for the benefit of all member nations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is, therefore, essential to fully collaborate and support their<br \/>\ninitiatives in coordinating the international fight against the<br \/>\npandemic. Such efforts should include the protection of our medical<br \/>\nworkers, provision of medical supplies, especially test kits and<br \/>\nultimately, finding a vaccine to cure the disease.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>President Buhari urged international financial institutions to assist<br \/>\nmember states in cushioning the negative impact of the pandemic in the<br \/>\nspirit of solidarity, which will include extending concessional loans,<br \/>\ntechnical support, lowering of tariff on medical equipment and<br \/>\nconsumables, sharing of expertise in case management, adopting open<br \/>\ntrade policies, as well as outright debt cancellation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Within the spirit of South-South cooperation, we must also assist one<br \/>\nanother, particularly the less developed and less endowed member states<br \/>\nwith technical, medical, and financial assistance. It is by so doing<br \/>\nthat we can rightly claim to uphold the Bandung Principles of equality,<br \/>\nmutual interests, and cooperation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On efforts to control the spread of the virus in Nigeria, and ameliorate<br \/>\nthe economic effect, the President said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have closed our land borders and airports and reduced seaport<br \/>\nactivities in a bid to curb imported cases from entering the country.<br \/>\nUnfortunately, the number of confirmed cases continues to rise as a<br \/>\nresult of community transmission of the disease.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Accordingly, we have increased our efforts to monitor trends of the<br \/>\ndisease, established more isolation centres and stepped up testing at<br \/>\nthe community level and of potentially vulnerable groups.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said various relief materials were handed out, including medical and<br \/>\nfood supplies as well as conditional cash transfer to about 3.6 million<br \/>\nvulnerable households affected by the stay at home order, while<br \/>\nresponding to the economic needs of citizens by supporting households<br \/>\nand Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) affected by COVID-19<br \/>\ninduced economic downturn.<\/p>\n<p>The President noted that a Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 was set<br \/>\nup, and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control strengthened to face<br \/>\nchallenges of mobilization, sensitization and implementation of all<br \/>\ndecisions.<\/p>\n<p>President Buhari commended His Excellency, Ilham Aliyev, President of<br \/>\nthe Republic of Azerbaijan and Chair of the Non-Aligned Movement for<br \/>\norganizing the extra-ordinary summit, and condoled with all members that<br \/>\nlost citizens to COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks to the Summit, President of the UN General Assembly,<br \/>\nTijjani Muhammad-Bande, pledged that his office would continue to work<br \/>\nwith NAM to promote partnerships and galvanise the needed engagement to<br \/>\ndefeat COVID-19 and reduce its impact on communities.<\/p>\n<p>While commending WHO, NAM member-states, civil society and the private<br \/>\nsector, for providing vital support and services in the fight to defeat<br \/>\nthe pandemic, the President of the General Assembly called on all those<br \/>\nthat have the capacity, to financially support the UN&#8217;s COVID-19 Global<br \/>\nHumanitarian Response plan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;COVID-19 has disrupted billions of lives with far-reaching effects on<br \/>\nthe health and livelihoods of people.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;The International Labour Organization estimates that workers will lose<br \/>\nas much as 3.4 trillion US Dollars in income by the end of 2020. Global<br \/>\nhealth systems are under enormous stress and global travel has been<br \/>\nseverely impacted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;States, corporations and families are already counting losses that<br \/>\ncould only be imagined in a state of war. Without alternative sources of<br \/>\nincome, workers and their families will have no means to survive,&#8221; he<br \/>\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Muhammad-Bande, who is also Nigeria&#8217;s Permanent Representative to the<br \/>\nUN, said while no country is spared from the scourge of this pandemic or<br \/>\nits socio-economic impact, developing nations are bearing the heaviest<br \/>\nbrunt of it &#8211; even if they do not experience an outbreak of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>He warned that the pandemic had deepened pre-existing inequalities<br \/>\nbetween and among nations, putting immense strain on tenuous systems and<br \/>\nplunging those in the most precarious contexts into deeper poverty and<br \/>\nhunger.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Muhammadu Buhari Monday in Abuja said only a collective international approach will mitigate the devastating effect of COVID-19, while assuring that the Federal Government will intensify efforts to monitor,&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":71343,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
