Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina , please accept my heartfelt congratulations over your election to serve a second five-year as President, African Development Bank at the recent 2020 Annual Meetings of the AfDB Group
As a globally renowned economist, you demonstrated outstanding competence and professionalism during your first term. Your re-election was but affirmation of Africa’s confidence in your ability and commitment.
In your first term, you distinguished yourself by driving to reshape the Bank that it would be a more active catalyst for Africa’s development. You focused on five development priorities known as the High 5s: Light up and Power Africa,
... Feed Africa, Industrialize Africa, Integrate Africa, and Improve the Quality of Life for the People of Africa.
The AfDB must be at the policy and intellectual vanguard as we seek ways to contain both the public health and economic challenges of COVID-19.
For your re-election, we must also congratulate and applaud President Muhammadu Buhari and other present and past leaders in Africa who believed in you and worked assiduously for your success.
I wish you an even more successful second term. May God be with you and may He help and guide use in the struggle against poverty and in our efforts to bring much-needed development to our continent and its people.
Please rest assured of my highest regards always.

I am so happy to be home!

Lagos is more than the centre of excellence. It is home to excellent people with excellent aspirations for their individual and our collective well-being. Image
I am blessed that this bustling city of commerce, culture and character is where my career in public service began.
It was a wonderful honour to serve Lagos and its people. It was you who first believed in me and the vision I held for this state. You trusted me to bring good governance and progress to our beloved state. I am forever grateful to you!

Today in Ebonyi, “the Salt of our Nation”, I reiterated my belief in the entrepreneurial spirit that is the hallmark of the South East. I have a record of encouraging Igbo businesses and investments in Lagos and will even do more if I become president. ImageImageImageImage
There can be no discrimination against any section of our country if we are to be a great nation. Most important, I intend to encourage policies to aid commerce and support South East states to reach their full potential - removing hindrances to trade, improving economic access, Image
and working with our businessmen and women to make the South East the Taiwan of Africa with further investments in people, infrastructure, transportation, agriculture, and mineral resources. Image
