“You added Gold to my Heart.”
With these words, Dr Akinwumi Adesina accepted Kenya’s highest civilian honour — the Chief of the Order of the Golden Heart.

His two-decade-long partnership with Kenya spans agricultural transformation, electrification, youth financing, and major infrastructure projects. As President of the African Development Bank, he’s helped mobilise over $4 billion for Kenya’s growth in the past decade alone.

This is not just a tribute—it’s a story of visionary leadership and a shared dream for Africa’s future.
