The President of the African Development Bank Group, Dr.
Akinwumi Adesina, has reiterated the Bank's support for the development of regional infrastructure corridors to boost the continent's integration and economic transformation.
Adesina said this when he met with Kenya's Ambassador to Côte d'Ivoire, Professor Christopher Andrew Lang'at, who had paid him a courtesy call at the Bank's Headquarters in Abidjan. "It is only through regional corridors that we can move goods and services easily across the continent, lower transport costs, promote integration and achieve impactful economic development," said Adesina.
In a press release today by AfDB, Adesina cited the upgrading from single-lane to dual carriageway of the 84 km Kenol - Sagana - Marua Road, which is part of the Great Northern Highway that runs from Cairo in Egypt to South Africa's Cape Town.
