President MUHAMMADU BUHARI has congratulated the President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), AKINWUNMI ADESINA after he was cleared of all corruption allegations leveled against him by an anonymous group.

The President said his exoneration is a further validation of his competence and integrity to lead the institution.

According to a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, FEMI ADESINA, President BUHARI called on ADESINA to remain steadfast as he continues to lead the institution.

An independent panel of experts, headed by former Irish president, MARY ROBINSON completely cleared ADESINA of all charges in an investigation that has spanned seven months.
