Speaking during a high-level review meeting held in Abuja with the president of the African Export-Import Bank, Prof. Benedict Oramah, and the secretary general of the African Petroleum Producers Organisation, Omar Farouk Ibrahim, in attendance, the minister reiterated the stakeholders commitment to transparency and efficiency throughout the final preparatory stages.

“Our collective focus is on delivering a bank that catalyses investment, accelerates energy security, and drives economic growth across Africa,” Senator Lokpobiri added.

“The AEB is poised to become a transformative financing platform for energy projects across the continent. This review confirms that every critical milestone is either completed or on schedule, and we remain fully aligned with our continental partners,” Lokpobiri said.

During the briefing, the parties confirmed that a definitive launch timeline and inaugural board meeting date have been fixed and are expected to be announced shortly.
