A statement from the Gates Foundation, which announced this, said Gates would also participate in a Goalkeepers Nigeria event focused on Africa’s innovation future and meet with local scientists and partners shaping Nigeria’s national strategy on artificial intelligence and scaling up health solutions.

The statement quoted Gates as saying that the siting of offices for the Foundation in South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, and Senegal, in addition to the first African office in Ethiopia about 13 years ago, was a great way to strengthen partnerships.

It said that Gates would visit Nigeria from Ethiopia, where he met with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and heard how Ethiopia was sustaining the momentum on critical reforms, expanding essential services, and remaining resilient amid shifting global aid dynamics.
