The World Bank’s engagement with Nigeria on critical aspects of the country’s development agenda, including macroeconomic and fiscal policy, energy access, digital infrastructure, and skills were prominent during the visit. She participated in a meeting of Western and Central Africa Ministers of Finance co-hosted by the Government of Nigeria and the World Bank.
In Nigeria, the World Bank provides large-scale concessional financing for the development programs of both the federal and state governments; as of January 2024, 30 of such programs are under implementation financed by over US$15 billion in commitments. The World Bank also provides support through analytics, upstream policy advisory, institutional strengthening, and implementation support initiatives.
