Bill Gates, Dangote meet Tinubu in Aso villa
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, and former world richest man, Bill Gates, on Monday visits President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.

They both congratulated President Bola Tinubu on the removal of fuel subsidy and other recent strides achieved by the new administration.

The visitation is part of the Gates Foundation’s commitment to working closely with communities and leaders to support innovation.

According to Dangote, the expectation is that the removal of fuel subsidy will open up better financial capabilities for the country to invest in other areas such as education as well as advance development among the citizenry.

The business tycoon further stated that the courtesy visit was congratulatory and an opportunity to brief the President on the activities of the Bill Gates and Aliko Dangote Foundations, as they seek more commitments from the President, particularly towards advancing the nation’s health sector.

He also noted that, “Nigerians have been getting a lot and should expect more. All is great, things are going well.”

On his part, the President pledged to prioritise the health and safety of Nigerians, underscoring that the health of citizens, particularly the workforce is critical for any country to develop.

The President said his administration would do all that is required to make their work in Nigeria and Africa successful, particularly in the area of eradicating polio, measles, malaria and other diseases from the continent.

According to the President, Gates “has all it takes to help developing nations more”.

Following his inauguration, Tinubu has continued to host prominent guests in Aso Rock.

He had earlier today met with Chairman of Bhanti Artel Worldwide, Sunil Mittal; who came in company of Chief Executive Officer Airtel Nigeria, Segun Ogunsanya, and other members of the company’s board.

Tinubu also held a meeting with the United States Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of Energy Resources, Geoffrey Praytt, as well as the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, Mele Kyari.
