Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is an important day for Africa. This facility that we inaugurating today, is a concrete result emanating from strong political will coupled with an efficient partnership.
Let me take this opportunity to commend the Government of Rwanda for its dedication. President Kagame, your leadership and determination as an early advocate together with your peers, have made this dream a reality for all of us. I also wish to recognise the presence of President Macky Sall of Senegal and President Nana Akuffo Addo of Ghana.
I also commend BioNTech for working closely with AU Member States like Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Ghana and others, and with Africa CDC, the AU specialised Agency for public health emergencies.
