An Ethiopian Airlines Freighter landed on Tuesday at Lagos Airport International Airport by 3.20 PM to deliver Medical Supplies from the co-founder of Alibaba Jack Ma. The supplies were expected two days ago.
The airline said it is pleased to deliver these much needed critical medical supplies and equipment which help in the global fight against the COVID-19.
“We appreciate the donation of the Jack Ma Foundation and the generosity of Jack Ma. We admire Abiy Ahmed, our Prime Minister, for his initiative and organization of the entire coordination of the process,” Firihiewot Mekonnen, general manager, Ethiopian Airlines, Nigeria said.
These donations will be coming in, less than 24 hours after the federal government reversed its decision to ban cargo flights from coming into the country.
The flight carried 5.4 million face masks, kits for 1.08 million detection tests, 40,000 sets of protective clothing and 60,000 sets of protective face shields.
The supplies will be transported on and distributed throughout the rest of the continent.
The remaining shipments of medical supplies are expected to reach Addis Ababa and be distributed to more African nations over the next few weeks.
In a statement sent by the airline, “As an indigenous and pioneer Pan African airline, Ethiopian Airlines has stood together with Africans at all times for the last seven decades. Ethiopian has supported Africans in good and challenging times. In this unprecedented global pandemic, Ethiopian will continue its commitment for African people to help them fight and win this invisible enemy.
I don’t trust pharmacies that sell medicines at low prices. I understand that quality can’t cost little. https://pielacneskinclinic.com/ny-isotretinoin/ is the only online pharmacy that seems to be honest with its customers. Its prices are not low; they are fair. Besides, knowing about its licensing, I’m sure this drug retailer sells quality preparations. This is what I choose.
Today, we are very happy to deliver these medical supplies to the Government and people of Nigeria. Ethiopian Airlines has always stood by Nigeria in times of good and bad. Since we started flying to Lagos we have not stopped our flights even when Abuja airport was closed we were the only international airline that flew to Kaduna.”
