AfDB has assured President Bola Tinubu that it will support his efforts to improve Nigeria’s agriculture and power sectors.
In Paris, France, President Emmanuel Macron hosted the summit of the New Global Financing Pact, and AfDB President Akinwumi Adesina made this disclosure after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu.
Having the opportunity to meet Tinubu, commend him for his thoughts and ideas at the Paris summit, and discuss a variety of topics was a great experience for Adesina.
“I discussed with His Excellency the President about a couple of things, first of all, agriculture, to see what we can do to support the government with regard to Mr. President’s vision in agriculture.
“We discussed special agroindustrial processing zones, for which we already have about $520 million for Nigeria, and how we are going to make sure that that project actually gets accelerated.
“The other one that we talked about is the power sector, how we will bring support to his effort, his vision, and that of his government with regard to access.
“The President wants to ensure that there is access to electricity in Nigeria, and therefore he talked to us about how we can support him, and I gave him the assurance that we will significantly support the power sector in Nigeria,” Adesina said.
