General Muhammadu Buhari, the president-elect of Nigeria, has requested the
Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to support the
candidacy of Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina as the next president of the African
Development Bank (ADB).
General Buhari has communicated his backing of Dr. Adesina’s candidacy to
the Ghanaian President, John Dramani Mahama, who is the current
chairperson of the ECOWAS.
In a statement released in Abuja on Tuesday, April 21, General Buhari said
that his support of Dr. Adesina’s candidacy was not just because he was
Nigerian.
“Dr. Adesina has a proven track record in a career that predates his position
as Nigeria’s Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development,” General Buhari
said.
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.
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 the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development in
2011, he was the Vice President, Policy and Partnerships Alliance for Green
Revolution in Africa (AGRA). Additionally, he has held senior leadership
positions in a number of agricultural institutions in the world.

No country sends her best hands abroad.

The unbiased presido... Give credit to those who deserves it and jail those who deserves it also

A brilliant man is a brilliant man no matter who is calling the shot. This man brilliance is standing him out.

Since d guy is a good material, why selling him out since we have a lot of holes which he can fill for our good.

Jst my own opinion.
