In July, Adesina said the former vice-president contributed immensely to his emergence as head of the continental finance institution.

This accomplishment will add to Abubakar’s educational curriculum vitae.

In 1967, the former vice-president obtained a diploma from the School of Hygiene, Kano. He later obtained a law diploma at the Ahmadu Bello University with a regional scholarship in 1969.

After obtaining the law diploma, he was absorbed into the Nigerian Customs Service.
