President Adama Barrow on Saturday addressed the 38th ordinary session of the African Union heads of state and government where he warned strong leadership is required over COVID-19.
“I am confident that working collectively, Africa will successfully generate the resources to address the challenges before us.
“Therefore, The Gambia supports the comprehensive strategy designed to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and revitalise our economies; but, this requires strong leadership and redoubling our efforts collectively,” the president said.
According to the president, the COVID-19 pandemic poses immense challenges in various ways.
“We regret the loss of lives, and pray for the recovery of those infected. May the departed souls rest in peace,” the president said in a statement he delivered over video.
