I am very grateful to President Adesina for the confidence and trust placed in me through this appointment. I look forward to working under the guidance of the Senior Vice-President with talented colleagues across the Bank to further enhance and accelerate the Bank's development results for a more resilient, inclusive and prosperous continent."
