The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation said it has invested over $2 billion in the last 10 years of its operation in Nigeria. The Country Director of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Jeremie Zoungrana, disclosed this on Tuesday when he led a team of the Foundation on a courtesy visit to the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Sen. Atiku Bagudu, in Abuja.
“This visit is to connect, work with the minister and draw from his wisdom. “We want to make sure Nigerians’ problems are shared with us. Because of this, we have invested $2 billion in Nigeria in the last few years. “We are going to expand our investment and continue to strengthen malaria and polio vaccines, as well as access to maternal and child health.” “Another area of interest is agriculture and food security. We will initiate plans to empower Nigerian farmers with agro-processing inputs. “We are equally going to prioritize women and gender equality.”
