“We encourage all the leaders, political class and aspiring politicians in Nigeria to emulate these noble principles and values as displayed by Dr. Akinwumi Adesina in the quest to find lasting solutions to the myriads of socio-economic challenges facing the nation.

“In the words of the great Satirist and Anglican Cleric of old, Jonathan Swift, who said; “That whoever could make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass, to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together.”

Dr. Akinwunmi, who earlier this month received The Guardian Newspaper man of year award was celebrated by the alumni for being a worthy ambassador of the body.

 “To Akinwumi Ayodeji Adesina belongs an illustrious African pedigree and abiding ethos that his backbiters underrated, if they know of them.”

“For us ECU Alumni all over the world, we recognise those abiding ethos and ethical consciousness as the foundational values, principles and character formation upon which our members were built up from their youth to become true agents of change on their various mountains of influence. 

“Dr. Akinwumi Adesina is a true representation and worthy ambassador of the ECU Alumni Fellowship, depicting integrity, resilience, honesty, diligence, poise, and creativity.

“This award we believe will spur the African Development Bank helmsman into devoting himself more into the dedicated task of steering the African continent into her era of socio-economic development through his High 5 priorities which involves lighting up and powering Africa, feeding the continent, industrializing Africa, integrating Africa, and improving the quality of life for the people of Africa.”
