Lagos
State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), Tuesday received in audience the
Founder of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Mr. Bill Gates, at Lagos House,
Alausa Ikeja, advocating that victims of Wild Polio virus be drafted to lead
the current campaign to eradicate the disease.
Bill
Gates, who came on a courtesy visit to the Governor alongside Nigeria’s
billionaire business magnate and Founder of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko
Dangote, is also a great philanthropist who has been donating large sums of
money to charity across the world, through the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation, especially towards the eradication of Wild Polio virus across
Africa and Asia.
Governor
Fashola said the most effective way to fight the disease was to look at how
many of its survivors could be empowered and encouraged to lead the campaign
towards its total eradication pointing out that they would be in a better
position to spread the awareness among the people.
