The African Development Bank Group has appointed a Nigerian, Nnenna Nwabufo, as Vice- President for Regional Development, Integration and Business Delivery, with effect from October 4.


The President of the AfDB, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, said in a statement by the bank that he was delighted with Nwabufo’s appointment.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Nwabufo has over 33 years of professional experience in financial management, budget planning, human resource management, corporate services and regional operations.

She joined the bank’s treasury department in 1991 and went on to hold various managerial roles, including her appointment in May 2015 as acting vice-president for corporate services.


In January 2021, Nwabufo was appointed as the Bank’s Director-General for East Africa to lead the Bank Group’s strategic objective of achieving developmental impact in the region’s 13 countries.


She demonstrated her adeptness at mobilising resources to ensure focused growth of the Bank’s sovereign and non-sovereign operations across the region.

Nwabufo holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from the University of Lagos, Nigeria and a master’s degree in business administration from Henley Management College, Henley on Thames, United Kingdom.

Adesina said: “Nwabufo brings deep knowledge of the Bank, vast senior management experience in different parts of the Bank, from finance to human resources, corporate services, budget management and operations.


“Which will be highly valuable in her new role in charge of country and regional operations and offices.

“I am confident that Nnenna’s managerial and leadership skills and deep operational experience will support all the Bank’s sector vice-presidents.

“To deliver and manage their operations and portfolios more effectively on the ground, and deepen policy dialogues, across countries and regions.”

Responding, Nwabufo welcomed her appointment, saying: “I am deeply grateful to Adesina for appointing me as vice- president for Regional Development, Integration and Business Delivery.

“I look forward to working closely with the president, the boards of directors, fellow senior managers and our talented staff to continue advancing the Bank’s development mission.

“Together, we will strengthen partnerships, ensure operational efficiency, and drive sustainable, inclusive growth across Africa.”
