The World Bank President, Mr. Ajay Banga, will begin a three-day visit to Nigeria tomorrow, August 3.
A statement from the World Bank Group says his visit is the next step of a global tour at the centre of a mission to write a new playbook for the 78-year-old institution.
The statement adds that during the visit, the World Bank Chief will identify opportunities to create jobs for young people and women; address energy needs and renewable energy; and further explore the potential for digitisation.

While in the country, Mr Banga will meet with President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima.
