The World Bank has committed $8.5 billion to Nigeria to fund critical issues, ranging from agriculture to education.
Disclosing this in Abuja during a summit organized by the Emergency Coordination Centre, the World Bank Country Director to Nigeria, Shu-bham Chau-dhuri, noted that the amount was the largest of any country.
He noted that it was still infini-tesimal compared with the needs of Nigeria, stressing, however, that around $2.5 billion to $3 billion of the fund had been channeled towards education.
