Responding to the development, President Tinubu described the election as “a confidence vote” in the minister’s competence and the agricultural reforms he is driving in Nigeria.
“I have confidence that Senator Kyari will give IFAD the right leadership and deepen its relevance and impact, especially at a time of global food security crises,” the President stated.
