She made the appeal on Monday in Abuja during the inauguration of the IDB Country Gateway office.

Adeosun said that Nigeria was striving towards attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and would welcome the IDB’s support to achieve them.

“I call on the IDB Group to work with development partners in operationalising the recovery and peace building assessment and implementation of the recently constituted June 2016 Buhari plan for the revitalisation of the North-East.

“This entails addressing aspects of interventions relating to peace building, stability and social cohesion.

“Also, to support critical productive infrastructure and service delivery and provide capacity building and programme management support in national, state and local government institutions.’’

Adeosun enjoined the Bank to scale up its concessional resources and increase its overall financing to Nigeria and other African member countries.
