The group said it was considering the education sector, particularly bilingual education, among its priority service areas in Nigeria as a key tool to counter extremism.
“These are what we aspire to do as IDB Group and what we stand for,” its President, Ahmad Ali, said in his statement at the opening ceremony in Abuja.
The group’s presence in Nigeria, he said, is expecting Nigeria to play a key role in realizing these objectives, Mr. Ali said this was important with the completion of the last portion of Trans Saharan Road linking Algiers in North Africa and Lagos.
“There is an urgent need to develop and implement an action plan for countries along this road, including Nigeria, to benefit from the infrastructure economically, commercially and financially,” he said.
The Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, who, prior to the opening received Mr. Ali in her office, urged the IDBG to support Nigeria’s effort to reconstruct the North East part of Nigeria devastated by years of militancy by insurgent group, Boko Haram.
The minister said development partners should work with Nigeria for the implementation of recently constituted plan by the Buhari administration to reconstruct the region through various intervention projects relating to peace building, stability and social cohesion.
Buhari agenda is becoming clearer every day.He has brought these terrorists into Nigeria.CAN should rise up against this lslamization.Nothing good comes from Islam or Islamic countries.Terrorism has formally been endorsed by Buhari,that is why Christians r being killed for speaking against Muhammad,who murdered millions of innocent pple in the name of jihad.Again 8 xtians were lynched in Zamfara State yesterday n this Islamic President pretends to b on top of the situation.I don't know why ALL muslems r born to b wicked,extremely wicked,from their so called prophet to the lowest beggar on the streets.You kill humans in cold blood with no qualms off conscience.Buhari should b serious in securing the life of Christians in this country.
