The Afreximbank 32nd Annual Meetings: A Grand Finale
The culmination of Professor Oramah’s tenure was marked by the Afreximbank 32nd Annual Meetings (AAM2025), held in Abuja, Nigeria, from June 25 to 28, 2025. This event was not only a celebration of the bank’s achievements but also a platform for discussing critical issues affecting Africa’s economic development. The meetings showcased the bank’s commitment to fostering intra-African trade and economic integration, themes that were central to Professor Oramah’s leadership.
A National Honor
In a fitting tribute to his outstanding contributions, President Ahmed Bola Tinubu conferred upon Professor Oramah, the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON), the second-highest national honor in Nigeria. This recognition is a testament to his dedication and the impact of his work on the African continent. The establishment of the Africa Energy Bank in Abuja, a key initiative under his leadership, undoubtedly played a significant role in this prestigious honor.
