@PresidentBOAD @AfDBPresident Cette visite tombe à point nommé. La BOAD est un partenaire clé dans la mise en œuvre de la Nouvelle Architecture Financière Africaine pour le Développement (NAFAD), initiée par @AfDBPresident. Bravo à @PresidentBOAD !

Je suis heureux d'avoir reçu mon frère et ami, Dr Sidi OULD TAH, @AfDBPresident, au siège de la BOAD à Lomé. Nos échanges ont porté sur le renforcement du partenariat stratégique et la revue des dossiers de coopération, au service du développement durable de l'UEMOA.

It is truly a pleasure to see you back on Twitter. As you rightly expressed, this is indeed a well-deserved period to Rest, Recover, Refresh, Recalibrate, Relaunch after such an intensive and impactful tenure. I pray that the Lord continues to grant you good health and protection

2024 was not a job—it was a calling. 105 countries. 130 flights. 5 continents. One mission: to document the pulse of Africa’s advance and adventure through the corridors of global and continental advocacy. It was nothing short of a movie. Every flight, every border crossed, every story told, and every landscape captured carried the weight of a mission far greater than us all: to ensure Africa’s story is told boldly, truthfully, and in the right rooms. All this while driving forward the African Development Bank’s relentless mission to inspire nations to dream beyond limits. But this journey wasn’t without turbulence—both literal and figurative. There were frantic dashes to catch flights, unpredictable terrains, and moments when exhaustion loomed heavy. Yet, even in those moments, purpose burned brighter than fatigue. Carrying out this work under the magnetic leadership of Dr. @akin_adesina added a profound sense of direction to every step. His vision is unstoppable, his energy contagious, and his passion for Africa unparalleled. Dr. @akin_adesina doesn’t just lead; he ignites. To witness and document his unwavering commitment to Africa’s rise was not just a privilege—it was a masterclass in leadership and purpose. Capturing his essence was both an honor and a challenge. How do you photograph someone who doesn’t just represent Africa but embodies it—its resilience, its possibilities, its soul? And yet, through this calling, we told the story that got the world to pay attention to the continent in ways it never had before. 2024 was not just a year. It was a mission, a movement, and a mandate to amplify Africa’s voice. I am profoundly grateful to be the storyteller of a narrative that refuses to be silenced. As we step into 2025, one thing is clear: Africa’s story is far from over. In fact, it’s only just beginning.

Heartfelt congratulations @akin_adesina #AfdPresident for being honored with the prestigious African of the Decade Award by Forbes & CNBC Africa. This remarkable recognition is a testament to your unwavering dedication, visionary leadership, efforts for Africa's development.

Cette opération marque un pas important dans le dialogue entre la @AfDB_Group et le @TogoOfficiel. Elle vient renforcer de manière décisive les efforts continus du @AfDB_Group pour concrétiser les priorités stratégiques du Hi5 au Togo et la FDR 2021-2025. afdb.org/fr/news-and-ev…
