“Nigeria will thrive when every Nigerian is able to thrive” – Bill Gates | WATCH

Billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates has said Nigeria will only thrive when every Nigerian is able to thrive.

Gates said this while meeting with the National Economic Council (NEC) on his visit to Abuja, Nigeria.

He has invested about $1.6 billion in Nigeria so far, he said.
