Its good news for Nigeria as the Minister
of Agriculture, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, is
elected President of the African
Development Bank (AfDB).
His election was on Thursday in Abidjan,
the capital of Ivory Coast where the
African Development Bank Annual
General Meeting has been ongoing.
He beat seven other contenders for the
top job.
The cheering news comes as Nigeria
prepares for the inauguration of the
newly elected administration of
President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari,
which holds in less than 24 hours.
The incoming president had in April
communicated his backing of Dr.
Adesina’s candidacy to the Ghanaian
President, John Dramani Mahama,
who is the current chairperson of the
ECOWAS.
Mr Buhari said that his support of Dr.
Adesina’s candidacy was not just
because he is Nigerian but because he
“has a proven track record in a career
that predates his position as Nigeria’s
Minister for Agriculture and Rural
Development”.
He added that Dr. Adesina had years of
experience of working in Francophone
and Anglophone countries, and a
passion to help eradicate poverty in
Africa by reducing unemployment and
inequality among African youth.
The statement further adds that “Dr.
Adesina is also an agricultural
development expert with 24 years of
experience in developing and managing
successful agricultural Programmes
across Africa”.
Until his appointment as Nigeria’s
Minister of Agriculture and Rural
Development in 2011, he was the Vice
President, Policy and Partnerships
Alliance for Green Revolution in Africa
(AGRA).
He has also held senior leadership
positions in a number of agricultural
institutions in the world.
