The transaction was advised by Palewater Advisory Group Inc, through its Johannesburg office.

Peter Ahiekpor, the CEO of Eco Medical Village Limited, said, "We take this opportunity to thank our funding partners especially Milost Global Inc. for the confidence shown in this flagship project the first amongst many. Today is a good day for ECOWAS. The main goal of ECOWAS is the promotion of economic integration among its 16 member countries, this projects heralds a new dawn in revolutionising the health industry in Sub Saharan Africa; it is with great pride and excitement seeing this vision come into fruition. Health is wealth and Eco Medical Village aims to provide world class health facilities and services to the ECOWAS region. As we enter the next phase we would continue our diligent efforts with our funding partners to achieve our goals and objectives. Much appreciation goes to the current Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority who tasked the private sector to develop plans in the improvement of health facilities across the ECOWAS region."

Mandla J. Gwadiso, the Chief Investment Officer of Milost Global Inc also stated, "It takes visionaries like Peter, to think out of the box and dream the kind of dreams that would scare the ordinary.

I am happy for Peter on bringing down such a mountain.”
