The Bureau of the Board of Governors of African Development Bank (AfDB), on Thursday, foreclosed the possibility of reopening the probe of the bank’s President, Dr Akinwumi Adesina.

At a meeting, the body declared that an independent investigation was not required as demanded the United States of America and upheld the decision of the Ethics Committee in favour of Adesina.

Instead, an independent reviewer will take a look at the process by which the Ethics Committee reached its determination on Adesina’s behalf.

The secretariat concluded that the Board of Governors had fully fulfilled its obligations in accepting the findings of the Ethics Committee in accordance with the said Resolution.

In a communique signed by Chairperson of the Bureau of Government, Ms Niale Kaba, “the Bureau agrees to authorise an Independent Review of the Report of the Ethics Committee of the Boards of Directors relative to the allegations considered by the Ethics Committee and the submissions made by the President of the Bank Group thereto in the interest of due process.

“The Independent Review shall be conducted by a neutral high calibre individual with unquestionable experience, high international reputation and integrity within a short time period of not more than two to four weeks maximum, taking the Bank Group’s electoral calendar into .

“It also decided to embark on an independent comprehensive review of the implementation of the Bank Group’s Whistle-Blowing and Complaints Handling Policy should be conducted with a view to ensuring that the Policy is properly implemented, and revising it where necessary, to avoid situations of this nature in the future within a three to six month period and following the independent review of the Ethics Committee Report.

Good move.
FTC for the very first time.

You took my FTC.

If they think he has committed foul play, he should be probed but I trust Nigerians sometimes sha

Indelibleword:
Good move

Adesina isn't a bad guy after all.

Clowns! Including all the African leaders trying to voice out.

All we do in Africa is collect handouts from the west while they continue to run the show. If not tell me how a supposed African development bank, has the US and a number of western countries as shareholders?

Why won't they run the show? He who pays the piper dictates the tune, which is exactly what has happened in the Adesina case.

Till the time African leaders decide to have sense, be value driven, run their affairs, do away with handouts (which will never happen btw), then they can get a grip of what autonomy looks like.

For now, let the circus continue

America wants to bend the rules but we no gree them

Trump is slowly making America lose Global respect and authority

Well! very clever move by AFDP

They did not anger Nigeria but didn't totally dismiss Americans concerns

The person that chaired the review must be as wise as king Solomon.

They will not probe Adesina but subject the report of the ethics committee that declared Adesina innocent to further scrutiny within the period of two weeks to a month.

They will also scrutinize the process of whistle blowing within the bank to ensure it is not a bad belle thing.

Other news outlet had another interesting headline.

He is an upright . Good Christian and dedicated Scholar, and so far his rating is above 90% except for the malicious,intimidated West who always want to keep the continent backward and impoverished.

You are doing well Sir

Better

If he is innocent, why avoid independent inquiry jeopardizing America's much needed economic for the institution

You can invite the whole world

The people probing him are probably more corrupt than him.

So let the sleeping dog lie.

Ok

Better

This is a great development. Afdb is an African owned bank and will not be subject to the dictates of America.

okay

Independent review. Good English, Africa is teaching Trump and his retinue of racist white aides how to use English words correctly.

We have turned it to Nigeria's style where one reviews the report of another which will be reviewed by another .

When the President of Africa Major General Muhammadu Buhari speaks, everyone obeys.

That's better..

same.

So you are no longer probing him but want to probe how the ethics committee came about their decision in favor of Adesina? lol!

He is still under probe under another guise.

Corporate speak.

R

Hmmm. Some people may know Adesina better than this.

Just hmmmmm

Kudos to many s from our leaders, this gentle and intelligent man is representing the beautiful colour of our flag interestingly well. Omo eni ko ni sedi bebere Ka bi leke sidi omo elomi

Good move by the board. America is not the voice of the world anymore. They should clean their mess before poking their noses in other countries affairs.

Good morning all
