1. Akinwunmi Adeshina: Akinwunmi is the current president of
African Development Bank. A position he thoroughly deserves because of
his amazing record as a distinguished public servant. A graduate of the
University of Ife,(now Obafemi Awolowo University) Adeshina is Nigeria’s
former Minister of agriculture and his time in office revolutionized
the sector in Nigeria. He particularly intiated a transparent process in
the sector’s fertiliser supply chain which helped the cause of local
farmers thereby increasing farming activities and boosting food
production across the nation. Before his appointment as a minister by
former President Goodluck Jonathan, Adeshina had a stint at Alliance for
a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) where he served as vice president
of policy and partnerships. He also previously worked at the Rockefeller
Foundation.Credit: started by Oluogunjobi
