“The truth is that he has demonstrated deep concern and understanding of the economic challenges facing the continent.’' Nigeria AfDB Adesina Ogbeh
Chief Audu Ogbeh, the former Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, has drummed support for the President of the African Development Bank , Dr Akinwumi Adesina.
He said the president had also proven to know the desperate need to find investment capital to stimulate economic growth, especially in the areas of agriculture and infrastructure.“I also congratulate African leaders, past and present, who have declared their support for Adesina’s second term in office.
Ogbeh described the insistence by the U.S. for a probe other than the one done by the ethics committee of the Bank as ‘a needle in haystack’ to justify his removal. NAN recalls that Adesina had been accused in a 20-point allegation of non-respect for internal rules and regulations in recruitment, unethical conduct and impediment to efficiency by unnamed employees.
