The Africa Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) has disbursed $50 billion for the execution of various projects in Nigeria in the last 19 years.
The President of the bank, Prof. Benedict Oramah, disclosed this during the recently commissioned Afreximbank Africa Trade Centre, AATC, in Abuja, where he also reaffirmed the Bank’s vision to dismantle trade barriers and promote African market integration.
“Over the last decade alone, total disbursements into Nigeria amounted to about 50 billion US dollars, spreading across vital sectors of energy, infrastructural, manufacturing, healthcare, transport, and financial services.
“Our support to the Nigerian financial services industry, amounting to 19 billion US dollars in the last decade, has helped to deepen and expand the sector and elevated their impact on the local economy,” he stated.
