President Muhammadu Buhari |
While receiving
President of the bank, Bashir Mamma,
at State House, Abuja, Monday, President Buhari said: “We
may be limping because of fallen oil prices, but we will fulfill our
commitments to the bank. We may have fallen behind, but we will live up very
soon. We will maintain the objectives of setting up the bank, which is to help
our less financially endowed neighbours.”
In his reply, Mr. Mamma said: “EBID is the financing arm of ECOWAS, which has been there
for about 30 years, and was initially set up as a Fund to help less developed
West African states, but we now cover all parts of the sub-region.”
The EBID
boss added that EBID set up Ecobank, and has also established an airline, after
the national airlines of most member countries collapsed.
