President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has honoured American billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates, with one of Nigeria’s highest national distinctions, the Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (CFR), News360 Nigeria reports.

The honour, which acknowledges Gates’ decades-long commitment to global health, education, and poverty reduction, also highlights his foundation’s longstanding partnerships with Nigeria.

The tech icon, who arrived in Abuja alongside Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, visited the Aso Rock Villa where the recognition was formally conferred.

News360 Nigeria had earlier reported that Gates was scheduled to visit Nigeria for talks with President Tinubu and other senior officials to review efforts aimed at strengthening the nation’s primary healthcare sector.

According to a statement from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Gates is also participating in the Goalkeepers Nigeria event, a platform designed to showcase Africa’s achievements and potential in areas like health innovation and technology development.

His visit comes shortly after he pledged a staggering $200 billion through the Gates Foundation over the next 20 years to bolster global health and development initiatives, with a significant portion directed towards Africa.

Gates is expected to meet with scientists and development partners working on artificial intelligence applications and health solutions aimed at transforming lives across the continent.

This recognition of Bill Gates with the Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (CFR) is a testament to the profound impact of sustained global partnerships in advancing health, education, and development. It underscores the critical role of philanthropy and innovation in shaping resilient healthcare systems, particularly in regions where such is transformative.

You don hear 200billion why he no go bestow am.

A

I saw on the news this morning that Bill Gates want to give $200 billion to Africa countries.
Nothing goes for nothing.
This man is really a smart man and a strategist.
My pains is that the money will be shared by politicians while ignorant Bill Gates will think the money will get to the grassroot and help eleviate poverty.
Congratulations 👏 anyway.

For what purpose

Your cry never even start... It will take a different dimension as primary gets by and get worse when campaign commence, by after the 2027 election, you would have been defeated as always and then you will begin another round of wailing for another four years and so it will continue.
You never see anything.

He deserves it
