President Bola Tinubu received in audience business tycoon Aliko Dangote and co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Bill Gates, at the State House in Abuja.
The visit is part of the Gates Foundation’s commitment to working closely with communities and leaders to support innovation.
Also expected to be discussed at the meeting, which is held behind closed doors, are issues of global health and development, even as they concern Nigeria within the community of nations.
