Dr Akinwunmi Adesina has returned to direct the affairs of the African Development Bank (AfDB), as he was sworn in as its President to serve another five-year term.
The swearing-in ceremony was virtually held on Tuesday morning.
It was earlier reported that Adesina, former Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, was re-elected last week having gotten a hundred percent vote of all regional and non-regional members of the Bank.
He has a record of being the first Nigerian to be elected and re-elected to serve as the AfDB’s President.
Dr Adesina’s first term in office focused on new agenda for the Bank Group, based on five development priorities called the High fives: Light up and Power Africa; Feed Africa; Industrialize Africa; Integrate Africa; and Improve the Quality of Life for the People of Africa.
