Nigeria pledges support for ACBF’s five-year strategic plan

Nigeria has pledged its continued support to the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) in its task of developing human and institutional capacity for advancing the continent.

Nigeria’s Finance Minister, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, made the pledge at a meeting with the Executive Secretary of the Foundation, Prof. Emmanuel Nnadozie, who was in Nigeria to brief the Minister of the BOG meeting-

Mrs. Adeosun is the Governor representing the country on the ACBF Board.

Prof. Nnadozie commended Nigeria for the $6 million it contributed to the Foundation during the five-year strategic plan due to end this year, saying it was the single largest amount given by an African country.

He said the Foundation was ready to help Nigeria carry out an assessment of its capacity needs with a view to providing solutions.

Responding, the Minister promised to match the last contribution to the plan if it could not raise it.
