President BOLA TINUBU says Africa is a fertile ground for investment and as such international development financiers should see the continent as a destination for growth and prosperity.

He said this on Thursday when he received a delegation from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

In a statement by presidential aide AJURI NGELALE, TINUBU told 

The IFC and the World Bank how they need to see Africa differently and he is glad an African MAKHTAR DIOP who is the IFC’s Managing Director is at the helm of affairs.

TINUBU said as an African DIOP will understand the potential for growth, peace, stability, and prosperity is here.

On his part, DIOP told TINUBU that during his working visit to Nigeria, the IFC had engaged in productive discussions with Nigerian partners to enhance agriculture, increase food production through irrigation farming, upgrade transport networks, and bolster regional integration.

The IFC boss congratulated TINUBU on his one year in office and commended his bold decisions to revamp Africa’s largest economy.
