AFD’s country director in Nigeria, Xavier Muron, who stated this during the group 15th anniversary held in Abuja over the weekend, said “Three pillars underpin this renewed partnership on promoting low-carbon and resilient infrastructure, supporting youth employability and developing quality jobs and; contributing to the improvement of governance to promote social cohesion and human rights.”
He further said, “100 per cent of AFD’s future projects will be socially inclusive and aligned with the Paris Agreement. AFD will work hand-in-hand with other development partners to better coordinate and maximise its impact for the benefits of Nigerians.”
The AFD director emphasised that “It is a great source of pride for the entire AFD team to have travelled these 15 years alongside Nigerians. This exciting journey continues for the next 15 years, and far beyond, with maturity and renewed enthusiasm and motivation”.
