The World Bank Country Director for Nigeria, Africa Region, Rachid Banmessaoud, has declared Osun State as the best among participating states in Nigeria in the World Bank Rural Access and Mobility Project 2.

A statement by Ismail Omipidan, the Chief Press Secretary to Osun State government, on Sunday said the World Bank chief made the disclosure in a ‘Commendable Performance Letter,’ addressed to the state government.

Banmessaoud, in his letter, also said Osun had been recognised by World Bank Task Team Leaders as a strong performer in project implementation.


The letter read in part, “This is to appreciate your support and state’s participation in the just concluded Nigeria Portfolio Performance Awards ceremony hosted by the World Bank Country Office in Abuja, and to congratulate you on your state’s commendable performance which led to winning of the best performing state under the Rural Access and Mobility Project 2 (RAMP 2).


“Osun has also been recognised by World Bank Task Team Leaders as a strong performer in project implementation.


“The event recognised the performance of project implementation teams across the state and federal institutions. Furthermore, state delegates were afforded the opportunity to network and share knowledge with their colleagues from other states.”

The body invited Osun to its “FY20 Country Portfolio Performance Review which will focus on strengthening the coordination mechanism at state level to ensure Nigeria meets the FY20 Portfolio Performance Indicator Targets.”
