On Thursday, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, extended his congratulations to Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), on his 65th birthday.
In a message issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, Governor Sanwo-Olu commended Adesina, a former Nigerian Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, for being an exemplary ambassador of both Nigeria and Africa.
The Governor acknowledged Adesina’s outstanding performance and leadership as the head of the international organization.
