Akinwumi Adesina Offers Support to Nigeria After Meeting Tinubu
Dr Akinwumi Adesina, the former President of the African Development Bank, declared his readiness to assist Nigeria in any capacity following a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. Adesina stated he is not seeking a political appointment or job, emphasizing his commitment to serve his country.
His visit aimed to inform Tinubu about the completion of his two terms as AfDB president and to present a report on the bank's achievements during his leadership. Adesina noted that the AfDB provided approximately $7 billion in financing to Nigeria between 2015 and 2025, which constitutes about 63 percent of the total $11.1 billion committed to Nigeria since 1971.
He reported that Tinubu was pleased with the bank's support and commended the President's economic reforms, including the removal of the petrol subsidy and the harmonization of foreign exchange windows, which are beginning to yield positive results.
