Buhari hails Adesina’s leadership as AfDB president
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Akinwunmi Adesina on the successes he achieved as president of the African Development Bank.
“I am happy with the enormous success Adesina has achieved at the end of his tenure, and I am glad to have supported his emergence as the helmsman of the bank in the first and second instances.
“I have seen Dr Adesina, a son of Nigeria, put up a spectacular performance in the African Development Bank after two terms.
“As his tenure ends and a successor is emerging, records show that he has set such a great, unmatched record of excellence, leaving shareholders far happier than they had ever been. I am happy with the role I played in bringing his talent forward,” said Mr Buhari in a statement on Friday.
According to the former president, hard work, discipline, and dedicated training have made Mr Adesina what he is today.
Mr Buhari also stated that the outgoing AfDB president “is blessed with a special talent, combined with hope, faith, a firm resolve and confidence, with which he overcame all odds to stand out as a beacon of inspiration to others”.
He wished Mr Adesina greater strength and success in his future endeavours.
