Bill Gates has arrived in Nigeria as part of a push by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to support development initiatives across Africa.
The Microsoft co-chair is expected to meet with national and local leaders to discuss advancing health, innovation, and nutrition across the continent, the Guardian reports.
"The foundation works with African governments, the private sector, non-profit organizations, and civil society to improve health outcomes, boost agricultural productivity, expand access to digital financial services, and empower women and other marginalized populations with greater economic opportunities," the foundation said in a statement.
A major highlight of the visit, according to the foundation, is Gates' participation in a pan-African virtual dialogue focused on addressing malnutrition.
