Multilateral Development Banks have pledged to continue to collaborate in their efforts to mitigate the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic of member countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MDBs also promised to accelerate the recovery of economies and livelihoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was made known in a meeting chaired by Hajjar Bandar, President of the Islamic Development Bank Group and attended by the heads of 12 Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bandar said the collaboration by the MDBs had proven meaningful in their efforts to swiftly provide crucial financial relief to member countries in the wake of the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the face of this unprecedented crisis, we have shown our responsibility and unity. The total package has already started disbursing and is bearing fruits,\u201d Bandar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing the impact of their responses to the pandemic and the worsening debt situation, the organizations said \"sustaining their joint efforts would protect livelihoods, especially among vulnerable populations, preserve macroeconomic stability and promote a stronger private sector role after COVID-19.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The joint effort of the MDBs has seen a COVID-19 response envelope of about $230 billion. In addition, the IMF has provided financing to 81 member countries totaling over $100 billion since mid-March, with further room for member countries to tap into its $1 trillion lending capacity through program arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He urged members to sustain the collaboration to steer financing towards development, help communities out of poverty and spur digitization and promote education. \u201cThis forum is where partnerships make a difference.

According to Governor Obiano, \u201cThis is not the time for destructive rumours, but a time to unite and keep Anambra state safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same vein, Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, has imposed a 48-hour curfew in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The curfew came as a result of Wednesday night\u2019s arson and destruction of government property in Asaba by some youths \u201cdisguising as protesters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also announced the closure of public and private primary and secondary schools in the state until November 2, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Okowa made this known in a statewide broadcast in Asaba on Thursday saying that the curfew would commence at 6 pm on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that the peaceful protests by #ENDSARS protesters had been hijacked by suspected criminals, and stated that the state government would not watch the elements to have a field day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The governor commended the #ENDSARS protesters for their peaceful conduct, but appealed to them to give peace a chance by allowing the government to address their demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also appealed to parents and guardians to ensure that their children and wards were properly accounted for, and urged traditional rulers and opinion leaders to lend their voices to the appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The governor urged youth leaders, community mobilisers and social media influencers, to have a rethink on the protest in the interest of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
