During the weekend in Egypt, I was honoured to attend the investiture of Dr. George Elombi as the 4th President of Afrexim bank, alongside Dr. Deji Adeleke, Chairman of Pacific Holdings Ltd; Nigeria’s Minister of Finance, Mr. Wale Edun; former Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki; and Mrs. Toyin Saraki amongst other notable African Business Tycoons.
The event also marked the farewell of Professor Benedict Oramah, after a decade of outstanding service to Africa’s economic growth as the outgoing president of Afrexim bank.
I commended Afrexim bank for its vital role in promoting trade, innovation, and continental development, and I look forward to continued collaboration that advances Africa’s prosperity.
Our administration is already discussing and finalizing a strategic partnership between Afrexim bank and Osun State to develop our mining sector and creative industry, especially the Adire sector, to empower artisans, boost exports, and create sustainable jobs for our youths and women.
