Adesina Offers Service to Nigeria After AfDB Tenure
Dr Akinwumi Adesina, the immediate past President of the African Development Bank, met with President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja. During the meeting, Adesina expressed his readiness to serve Nigeria in any capacity, clarifying that he is not seeking a new job.
He informed Tinubu that his tenure at the AfDB had concluded and provided a report on the bank's achievements, noting that the bank had financed Nigeria with approximately $11.1 billion since its operations began in 1971, with $7 billion of that amount provided during his 10-year tenure from 2015 to 2025. Adesina praised Tinubu's economic reforms, including the removal of the fuel subsidy and the harmonization of exchange rate windows, stating these reforms are beginning to yield positive results.
He emphasized the need for the government to transition from stabilization to structural transformation for growth and prosperity.
