ABUJA – PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu on Tuesday tasked the leadership of the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) to intensify efforts to mobilise and deploy the continent’s vast human, financial and natural resources for the collective economic advancement of Africans, stressing that Africa’s drive to industrialisation cannot remain a subject of theoretical discussion.
President Tinubu stated this when he received a delegation from Afrieximbank, led by its President and Chairman of the Board, Dr George Elombi, to the State House, Abuja.
The President said his administration’s recent economic reforms, such as ending the fuel subsidy and tackling multiple exchange rates, are essential steps to combat corruption and ensure economic survival.
He emphasised that Africa possesses enormous potential and must move beyond endless conversations about development to practical actions that drive industrial growth, expand trade, create jobs, add value, and improve the living standards of its people.
