ABU DHABI: Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) has signed an agreement with the Nigerian government to develop Minna-Bida Road project worth $45 million (AED165 million).
The agreement was signed remotely by Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed, Minister of Finance, Budget, and National Planning of Nigeria and Mohamed Saif Al Suwaidi, Director-General of Abu Dhabi Fund for Development.
