Nigerian business tycoon, Aliko Dangote and Co-Chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Bill Gates have congratulated President Bola Tinubu on the removal of fuel subsidy and other recent strides achieved by the new administration.

Dangote made this known in a chat with State House correspondents after the duo met with the President in his office on Monday.

According to the businessman, the expectation is that the removal of fuel subsidy will open up better financial capabilities for the country to invest in other areas such as education as well as advance development among the citizenry.

The business tycoon further stated that the courtesy visit was congratulatory and an opportunity to brief the President on the activities of the Bill Gates and Aliko Dangote Foundations, as they seek more commitments from the President, particularly towards advancing the nation’s health sector.
