Bill Gates visits Nigeria Tuesday

 Bill Gates, the co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is visiting Nigeria on Tuesday to discuss solutions to wide range of development challenges.
A statement from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in Abuja said he is expected to  meet with government officials, youth and partners to discuss solutions to  health, agriculture poverty challenges and boosting nutrition in Africa.
Gates, alongside other foundation leaders, will meet with experts in primary health care, agriculture, and nutrition who are driving progress across the continent, despite economic challenges.
 The American billionaire will also “participate in a pan-African virtual dialogue focused on addressing malnutrition through integrated health, agriculture, and financing solutions. For this dialogue, Gates will be joined by musician, educator and humanitarian Jon Batiste.”
Since inception in 2000, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is said to have supported partnerships with African regional institutions, national governments, and local communities in 49 African countries to contribute funding and scientific expertise in support of their agendas for change.
 The foundation said these partnerships have driven the success of numerous health, agriculture, equality, and anti-poverty initiatives across the continent.
“The foundation has committed more than $7 billion through 2026 to support African countries and institutions working to develop and implement innovative approaches to confront hunger, disease, gender inequality, and poverty,” the statement reads in part.
