He said: “We may be limping because of fallen oil prices, but we will fulfill our commitments to the bank.
“We may have fallen behind, but we will rise up very soon. We will maintain the objectives of setting up the bank, which is to help our less financially endowed neighbours.’’
He said EBID was initially set up as a fund “to help less developed West African states, but we now cover all parts of the sub-region’’.
