He was speaking during a ceremony to handover two 30 seater Nissan Civilian buses to the EPHI on 24 December 2020 in Addis Ababa - as part of a wider United Nations support to COVID-19 efforts in the country. “Combating COVID-19 requires us all - governments, individuals and organizations from across industries and sectors to work together.
