Nigeria’s Akinwumi Adesina has been re-elected as the President of the African Development Bank President for a second five-year term.
The election took place electronically on Thursday at the virtual annual general meeting of the bank.
Adesina’s reappointment on Thursday at the helm of the 56-year-old bank is considered a formality as he is the sole candidate.
Presidential spokeswoman, Lauretta Onochie, confirmed the development in a congratulatory tweet on Thursday.
