ECOWAS Honors Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh

On Saturday 29th June, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) awarded Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh a posthumous Award of Excellence.

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari, chair of ECOWAS, presented Bankole Cardoso (the only child of Dr. Adadevoh) and our Managing Director Niniola Soleye with the Award.

The other two Awardees were Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of the United Nations (posthumous) and Madam Germaine Acogny, a world-renowned Senegalese dancer and choreographer.

We are very grateful that West Africa has formally recognized Dr. Adadevoh’s sacrifice and through our work we will continue to push to ensure the devastation of the 2014 Ebola outbreak never happens again.
