Saturday, April 14, 2018

When Bill Gates some weeks back, told Nigerian political elites that the country is one of the most dangerous places on earth to give birth, not many would have thought of the drama that played out in Akure, the Ondo State capital, the other week.
Pregnant women were reported to have paralyzed activities in the State Specialist Hospital while protesting against outrageous medical fees introduced by the state government.

Health situation in northern Nigeria very challenging, says Bill Gates

Saturday, September 23, 2017

Bill Gates, world’s richest man, says the health situation in northern Nigeria is “very challenging”.

 

 

The north-east is facing a humanitarian crisis caused by years of Boko Haram insurgency.

 

 

An estimated two million people are said to have been displaced by the insurgency, with many of them living in internally displaced persons (IDPs) camps.

 

 

Speaking with BBC News Pidgin, Gates said Nigeria is one of the places he has interest in because the country is “important” to the world.
