Nigeria has penned an agreement with the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) to host the 32nd Afreximbank Annual Meetings (AAM) in June 2025.

The upcoming event is expected to draw between 5,000 and 6,000 delegates from across Africa, the Caribbean, the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

The development was announced at a signing ceremony that took place in Abuja, with the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, announcing that President Bola Tinubu had approved the hosting of the event.

The minister declared that Nigeria is delighted to work with Afreximbank management and give them full support.

He said: “We are all aware of the range of innovative financing programmes and solutions offered by Afreximbank over the years. It is indeed a factory of financial innovation, imagination, creativity, and delivery, and I think the financial sector is the most important.”

Edun noted that one of Afreximbank’s initiatives, the African Medical Centre of Excellence (AMCE) in Abuja, would reduce medical tourism by providing comprehensive healthcare services and addressing capacity gaps in the country and West Africa. The medical centre is set to commence operations soon.

In his address, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Afreximbank, Prof. Benedict Oramah, stated that the upcoming 32nd Afreximbank Annual Meetings promises to be a landmark event.

He also appreciated Tinubu for working with the Afreximbank.

He asserted: “The meetings will provide an opportunity to reflect on Africa’s economic progress over the past three decades and discuss strategies for the future.”
