Bill Gates, an American millionaire and head of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, spoke after meeting with the President of Niger, Mohamed Bazoum, on Monday in the city of Yamai. This was part of a tour that took him to Nigeria and Niger. The main topic of talk at this meeting is health, especially how to stop polio before it starts.

This is why, on Monday, June 19, during the tour, Bill Gates, Aliko Dangote, and government officials led by Fra minister Ouhoumoudou Mahamadou met.

The parties also talked about how to solve other problems in Niger, such as terrorism, climate change, and population growth at a time when the number of both internal and foreign refugees is growing. overseas is over $6,500,000.
