TUC Congratulates Akinwumi Adesina, Nigeria
By UDO ONYEKA
The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) has congratulated Dr. Akinwumi Adesina on his re-election as African Development Bank President.
The Congress is particularly overjoyed with the report of the investigation panel that states that “Adesina was cleared of all controversial corruption charges after facing questions from a panel on the affairs of AfDB, hence, he was returned unopposed.”
According to a statement signed by TUC President and Secretary, Comrade Quadri Olaleye, and Comrade (Barr.) Musa-Lawal Ozigi, respectively, TUC as an organisation concerned and interested in good governance, there are many lessons people in authority especially in Nigeria must learn from the good qualities of Dr. Adesina.
” Here is a man that understands his duty and is committed to doing it. As an ex-minister he left a mark in the sector he supervised.
As a man of excellence whatever he touches he transforms; he does it with acute sense of duty and commitment. His rare qualities are lacking in most people in government in Nigeria, nay Africa today”, TUC said.
The Congress advised Dr. Adesina to be cautious of the fake whistleblowers around, adding that it will be unwise to think that people who occupy such positions should not have ” enemies”.
” It is obvious the smoke came from within; that is not to say he should start making enemies instead of doing his duties,” TUC said.
