African Development Bank is a reputable highly rated and globally renowned development institution committed to high ethical standards in its financial dealings.
Dr. Adesina took office as the 8th President of the Bank in 2015 with a clear vision on Africa's economic transformation, encapsulated in the Bank's 'High 5's' economic blue print, tackling chronic power shortages, agriculture technologies that significantly improve food security, access to private sector finance, improved transport infrastructure, and water and sanitation all in a bid to improve the Quality of Life for the People of Africa.
The African Business Roundtable ( ABR), Africa's foremost association of business and business leaders, has followed closely on the Whistleblower's complaint against Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, President, African Development Bank Group.
We believe the Board of Governors of African Development Bank Group, will speedily resolve this issue in the overall interests of Africa and its people, upholding the high ethical standards synonymous with the Bank.
