Fayemi, who is the Chairman, Nigerian Governors' Forum (NGF), said Dr Adesina's re-election is an attestation to his dynamic and pragmatic leadership which has helped to reposition the bank.

"This is great news for all lovers of development. It is a befitting reward for Dr Adesina's visionary leadership which has increased the growth and influence of the bank these past few years.

"There is no doubt Dr Adesina's presidency has strategically repositioned the AfDB with attendant positive impact on the economies of many national and sub national governments in Africa.
