At the 2015 annual meetings in Ivory Coast this week, African heads of state, ministers and nonregional member representatives paid tribute to Donald Kaberuka, the outgoing president of the African Development Bank.
“I introduced the bank on the financial market, but Donald Kaberuka has given Africa a voice on the global platform,” former AfDB President Babacar Ndiaye said at the opening of the meetings Monday.
Nigerian finance minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala meanwhile hailed him for being a “true and trusted voice for Africa.”
