OpEd: It’s Been Three Months, Where Are realDonaldTrump’s Ventilators Promised Nigeria? By FredrickNwabufo | Sahara Reporters The US president is notorious for making unprocessed statements and walking them back. He could have blurted out... READ MORE:
On April 28, United States President, Donald Trump, in his accustomed cadence said his administration would send 250 ventilators to Nigeria. According to him, ‘’Nigeria will do anything for ventilators.’’
I know the US itself is in dire need of ventilators. Or to toe into Trump’s snobbery –‘’the US will do anything for ventilators’’. I recall, in the heat of the COVID-19 morass, Trump had told governors of the US states to “try getting it yourselves’’ when they demanded support for COVID-19 response within their borders.
But why are there no specifics regarding the medical items? There is zero detail on who is paying for the supplies and when they will reach the country. Even Mary Leonard, US ambassador to Nigeria, appears to be confounded. Speaking on the ventilators in May, she said: “I don’t have an arrival date or specifics about it.’’
