The bank stated that former president Jonathan described Adesina as an African patriot who, by dint of hard work and service, had brought glory and honour to Nigeria and Africa.

It added that Jonathan recalled Adesina’s great success when he served in his administration as Agriculture Minister.

The bank also quoted Jonathan as saying: “I rejoice with you, your family, and well-wishers as you mark your 60th birthday”.

“It is with great delight that I convey the warm felicitations of my family, the Government and good people of Ogun State to you on the occasion of your attaining the Diamond Jubilee age.

“Your enviable records and footprints span academic excellence, uncommon vision and a passion that inspires, motivates and unleashes potentials.” Abiodun stated.

On his part, Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta said Adesina’s impact on the continent was commendable.

“Adesina’s leadership at the AfDB has been largely characterised by an outstanding vision in tackling issues of hunger and poverty in Africa.

“His programmes and policies have impacted well over 181 million people directly on the continent in the past four years,” Okowa said.

The bank said Adesina turned 60 years old on Thursday but took little time to celebrate as the president had a packed schedule, including a trip to the African Union Summit in Addis Ababa, where he was expected to meet Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

According to the bank, a high-level meeting is also slated with several African heads of state to discuss the state of malnutrition on the continent.
