The Federal Government of Nigeria and the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) have reportedly signed the Host Country Agreement for the 32nd Afreximbank Annual Meetings (AAM), scheduled for June this year in Abuja.
The event, expected to be the largest in the Bank’s history, would bring together over 6,000 delegates, including Heads of State, government officials, industry leaders, and financial experts from Africa, the Caribbean, and beyond.
Discussions would focus on trade, economic growth, and investment opportunities across the continent, according to a statement issued in Lusaka on Wednesday.
Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, said the country was committed to strengthening Africa’s financial sector.

“Nigeria is honoured to host the 2025 Afreximbank Annual Meetings, which will serve as a critical platform to drive discussions on trade financing, economic growth, and investment,” Edun said.
Afreximbank President, Professor Benedict Oramah, described Nigeria as a key partner, noting its US$52 billion in trade and development finance from the Bank.
“The Government of Nigeria has been a steadfast partner, injecting significant equity into the Bank and supporting its growth despite economic challenges,” Oramah said.
The 2025 meetings followed the 2024 edition in The Bahamas, which drew over 4,000 delegates, including 20 Heads of State.
Afreximbank was established in Abuja in 1993, with Nigeria now its second-largest shareholder.
