Africa’s richest man and Chairman of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote has made some revelations.

Dangote made these revelations on Wednesday, September 25th, 2019 in New York at the 2019 Goalkeepers meeting of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

He said; “Since my conversion with Bill Gates, I became more interested in doing something to improve children access to nutritional food and healthcare system in Nigeria.”

“My work through my foundation has helped to shape policy around nutrition in Nigeria. For example, the Federal Government now has a policy on food fortification, making it compulsory for producers of certain products such as rice, sugar, wheat, spaghetti, noodles to include vitamin supplements in their products.”

“When I started my foundation in 1994, I never realised we had this massive challenge in the health sector. Really, it was mind-boggling when we had this agreement to collaborate with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and that really opened my eyes to realise that there are a lot of challenges in health.”

“At that time I didn’t have the opportunity of meeting Bill but meeting Bill changed me into a different person. This is somebody that has nothing to do with us in Africa or Nigeria but he is putting his money and his soul into everything.”

“He is very committed to helping humanity and that really surprises me a lot and I realised that he is a simple person and I never knew Bill would be this simple. He is a very soft-spoken guy and kind-hearted.

“It is very difficult to find people like Bill in this world. My only prayer is that in the next few years, I will try and give my chunk of wealth to charity to.”
