Dr. Adesina reflects on his impactful presidency at the African Development Bank (AfDB) as he prepares for his departure after two terms. His leadership emphasized collaboration among stakeholders, resulting in significant advances in Africa’s development, particularly through the Africa Investment Forum (AIF), which has mobilized nearly $180 billion in investments since its inception in 2018. Adesina’s commitment to economic transformation and sustainable development has earned him the inaugural ‘African of the Decade’ award.
