Dr. Akinwumi Adesina has been re-elected for another five-year term as President of the Africa Development Bank (AFDB).
He was re-elected unopposed through a voice vote at the annual meeting of the bank.
The election took place on Thursday during the closing ceremony of the virtual Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the bank.
Reacting, Dr. Adesina said “At this Annual Meetings, I offer myself to you, our Governors, for your consideration for election for a second term, as President.
“I do so, with humility, with a strong sense of duty and commitment and a call to serve Africa and our Bank, selflessly, to the very best of my God-given abilities,” he said.
