AfDB President, Akinwumi Adesina Cleared Of Corruption Charges
 Akinwumi Adesina has been cleared of all ethical wrongdoing by an independent panel of experts led by former Irish President Mary Robinson.
The charismatic 60-year-old made it the first Nigerian to lead the AfDB in 2015, but a 15-page report earlier this year said the bank had been tarnished by poor governance, impunity, personal enrichment and patronage.




According to a report obtained by AFP, the panel of three experts, led by Robinson alongside Gambia’s Chief Justice Hassan Jallow and the World Bank’s integrity vice president Leonard McCarthy, cleared Adesina of all charges alleged by whistleblowers.
“The Panel concurs with the Committee in its findings in respect of all the allegations against the President and finds that they were properly considered and dismissed by the Committee,” Monday’s report concluded.


The African banking institution and Adesina , which is the only candidate in the bank's August presidential elections, were hit by a rollercoaster of allegations after whistleblower complaints were leaked to the media in April.
The former agriculture minister has always said he is "innocent" of the charges. Robinson — who led Ireland from 1990 to 1997 before becoming the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights until 2002 — rejected the 16 allegations of denunciation against Adesina.
The committee did not investigate the charges themselves because it was not within its mandate. The AfDB plays an important role, if the rest of the game, in African economies, in financing projects in agriculture, health, energy, education, transport and other development sectors.
