Dr. Akinwumi Adesina significantly improved food security by leading Africa’s agricultural revolution for 30 years and laid the foundation for Africa’s dynamic growth through his outstanding leadership.
The African Fertilizer Summit led by Dr. Adesina in 2006, was Africa’s largest high-level meeting to focus on Africa’s food issue. At the Summit, the ‘Abuja Declaration’ was adopted in which government and NGO leaders committed to eradicate hunger by 2030.
Moreover, Dr. Adesina collaborated with banks and international NGOs to create a revolutionary financial system to provide loans to poor African farmers who were trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty.
As the President of the African Development Bank, he is also leading an all-around economic growth plan for Africa’s development. As Africa’s economic chief, Dr. Adesina has set five major strategies -‘Light up and Power Africa’, ‘Feed Africa’, ‘Industrialize Africa’, ‘Integrate Africa’, and ‘Improve the Quality of Life for the People of Africa’- to drive growth on the African continent.

from contents
The human race is one family, regardless of nationality, religion, race or color. We all have the same blood running through our bodies. We are all citizens of the world. When one suffers everyone does!
There is tremendous suffering going on in the world. Over 850 million people are hungry, with over 150 million children malnourished. While progress is being made, we are not winning the war on global hunger. There cannot be peace in a world that is hungry.
Hunger persists in regions and places going through conflicts, wars and fragility. Those who suffer the most are women and children. When the ego and pride of the mighty clash, the consequences are felt by the weakest among us: children. They do not create wars but the world's children suffer from it the most.
The pictures of walking skeletons breaks our hearts, eyes so hollow, with hearts beatings from skeletal stomachs which seems to say ?mama why am I not getting food?". But their mamas are also not getting food.
