His election was on Thursday in Abidjan, the capital of Ivory Coast where the African Development Bank Annual General Meeting has been ongoing.

ReplyDeleteNigerians, we are really ignorant and yet me continue to make sweeping comments. He really boosted our agricultural sector and made us less reliant on importation of foodstuff. But hey, the Nigerians with access to laptops and the internet are not interested in such. It is only because he has been elected you are now noticing him.
ReplyDeleteAs the say, a prophet is never recognized in his land.
Wish you'd be retained by the new administration to continue strengthening Naija's agric sector. Hopefully, your replacement will not dismantle all your hardwork and efforts at ensuring food security and less dependence on imported food items. All the same, congratulations on your most recent appointment as ADB's Head.
