TUC congratulates Akinwumi Adesina on reelection as AfDB President

The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), has congratulated Dr Akinwumi Adesina on his re-election as African Development Bank President.

TUC President, Comrade Quadri Olaleye, said the Congress was particularly overjoyed with the report clearing Adesina of all the “controversial corruption charges after facing questions from a panel on the affairs of AfDB, hence, he was returned unopposed”.

“As an organisation concerned and interested in good governance, there are many lessons people in authority especially in Nigeria must learn from the good qualities of Dr Adesina.

“Here is a man that understands his duty and is committed to doing it. As an ex-minister, he left a mark in the sector he supervised. As a man of excellence whatever he touches he transforms; he does it with an acute sense of duty and commitment. His rare qualities are lacking in most people in government in Nigeria, nay Africa today.

The Congress, however, advised Dr Adesina to be cautious of the fake whistleblowers around, noting that it will be unwise to think that people who occupy such positions should not have “enemies”.

“It is obvious the smoke came from within; that is not to say he should start making enemies instead of doing his duties. Once again we congratulate him and wish him more of God’s grace.” He said
