Nigeria to deepen ties with AfDB under new leadership — Edun

Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, has expressed the Federal Government’s commitment to strengthening its partnership with the African Development Bank (AfDB) under the leadership of President-Elect Dr. Sidi Ould Tah.

Speaking during a meeting with Dr. Tah on the sidelines of the AfDB’s Annual Meetings in Abidjan, Edun stated, “Nigeria is ready to work hand-in-hand with the incoming President—not only for national development, but to advance inclusive growth and shared prosperity across the African continent.”

The meeting reaffirmed Nigeria’s strategic support for Dr. Tah’s leadership and the country’s pivotal role in galvanising a united front among African shareholders during the election process.

Edun also welcomed the new AfDB chief’s emphasis on continuity and measurable impact, noting that Nigeria looks forward to a reinvigorated partnership that supports both domestic priorities and continental development goals.
