Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina has been re-elected and re-affirmed as the president of the Africa Development Bank (AfDB).
Adesina was re-elected by the Board of Governors of the Bank at the ongoing AfDB’s virtual annual meeting in Abidjan on Thursday.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media Lauretta Onochie confirmed the development while congratulating Adesina on her Twitter page.
“Our very own Akinwumi Akin Adesina has been reaffirmed as the President of the African Development Bank.
“Thank you to our supportive President @MBuhari who mobilised support for our own Adesina and why not! Adesina has been proven to be above boards.”
Some months back, an independent review panel set up by AfDB Bureau of Governors – following a complaint by the United States – exonerated Adesina of any ethical wrong-doing.
It was discovered that the allegations against Adesina were properly considered and dismissed by the committee.
