The African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) kicked off a leadership transition in Cairo with a day of tributes marking the conclusion of Professor Benedict Oramah's 10-year tenure as president and chairman of the Board of Directors.
President Oramah has turned the bank into Africa's 'Development Supermarket' - an institution with a suite of solutions for our challenges with development,
said Dr. George Elombi, Afreximbank executive vice president and president-designate,
