Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and Co-Chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is expected to arrive in Nigeria this week.
During his visit, he will meet with President Bola Tinubu and other top government officials to talk about ways to improve Nigeria’s primary healthcare system.
His trip is part of a wider effort to support health and development across Africa.
In addition to the meeting with Nigerian leaders, Gates will also attend the Goalkeepers Nigeria event.
The event aims to show how much progress Africa is making in areas such as health and technology.
While in Nigeria, Gates will interact with local scientists and key partners who are working on artificial intelligence projects and health solutions that could benefit people across the continent.
This visit follows Gates’ recent appearance in Ethiopia, where he made a major funding pledge.
At the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, he announced that the Gates Foundation would provide $200 billion over the next two decades to support development and healthcare in Africa and other parts of the world.
During that event, he urged African leaders to speed up innovation and build stronger partnerships to meet long-term development goals.
His upcoming visit to Nigeria is expected to support those ideas by encouraging more collaboration between the government, technology experts, and healthcare partners.
