‘Buhari asked us to focus on northern Nigeria’ -World Bank

World Bank Group President, Jim Yong
Kim who spoke at separate press
conferences in Washington DC, U.S
alongside Managing Director,
International Monetary Fund, Christine
Lagarde on Thursday, disclosed that the
bank had concentrated on the northern
region of Nigeria in line with President
Muhammadu Buhari’s request.

He said; “You know, in my very first
meeting with President Buhari he said
specifically that he would like us to shift
our focus to the northern region of
Nigeria and we’ve done that. Now, it
has been very difficult. The work there
has been very difficult. “I think Nigeria,
of course, has suffered from the
dropping oil prices.
