The World Bank has officially backed U.S. candidate, Jim Yong Kim as the next World Bank President, Reports the New York Times. Dr. Kim, 52 will take over from former World Bank President, Robert Zoellick.
Many Africans were hoping that current Nigerian Finance Minister and former World Bank Managing Director, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala would clinch the top post.
