Anna Bjerde, the World Bank Managing Director of Operations, on Tuesday said Nigeria is now frequently cited globally as an example of steady and credible reform leadership.
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, said in a statement on Tuesday that Bjerde made the remark during a meeting with President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima at the State House, Abuja. Other World Bank officials accompanied her to the meeting.
Bjerde commended Nigeria’s reform progress over the past two years, particularly the government’s consistent resolve to stay the course despite challenges.
