#BBB NEWS| Ambassador Adefuye: A Dedicated, Sterling Patriot - Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

I received the news of the passing of Ambassador Ade Adefuye with great sadness. He and my husband developed a warm friendship in Washington. (pictured above) Late Ambassador Ade Adefuye in suit

He was a very dedicated and hardworking man who represented the country with sterling patriotism and passion.

Ambassador Adefuye was much respected in the diplomatic community for his strong intellect and deep knowledge of Nigeria and Africa.

I interacted closely with him in the course of my job as Minister of Finance and I saw firsthand his dedication to the task of helping diplomats and investors understand Nigeria and appreciate the country's many positives. He participated robustly in many sessions with investors especially on infrastructure and agriculture financing.
