AfDB President, Buhari meet

Adesina and Buhari meet Adesina and Buhari meet

The President of the African Development Bank, Akinwumi Adesina has met President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

They held a closed-door meeting in the State House on Tuesday.

Adesina has been accused of breaching the bank’s code of ethics.

The allegations include various cases of alleged breaches of the code of conduct, unethical conduct, private gain, an impediment to efficiency, preferential treatment, and involvement in political activity, all affecting confidence in the integrity of the bank, according to U.S Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin.

In a recent report, the bank denied reports that Akinwumi Adesina, President of the bank has been asked to resign.

More recently, prominent Nigerians like Peter Obi, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Obasanjo and the Federal Government of the West African nation stepped up to his defence, dismantling every allegation against him as false.

Support has also doubled from the lawmakers, and now the President.
