To this effect, the former U.S. President, Jimmy Carter, and Offor signed an agreement between the Carter Centre and Sir Emeka Offor Foundation (SEOF) for a partnership to eliminate the disease from seven states in Nigeria.
At the ceremony, Mr. Offor presented the cheque for the sum to Carter.
Mr. Carter said the money from SEOF would extend the reach of the Centre’s work in the Southeast and South South of Nigeria and help reach the goal of eliminating river blindness from the world’s most endemic country, Nigeria, by 2020.
Mr. Carter said it would also accelerate river blindness elimination throughout Nigeria at a pivotal time.
”The 10 million dollars multi-year commitment of Sir Offor is the largest from an individual African donor in the Carter Centre history.
”The new resources will fund two-thirds of the Carter Centre’s expanded interventions against river blindness in Nigeria to meet the five-year target to eliminate the disease nationwide,” Mr. Carter said.
On his part, Mr. Offor said: ”I am deeply honoured to work closely with the Carter Centre to help eliminate river blindness.
