"Aliko is Africas richest man, and his business activities drive economic growth across the continent. Thats impressive, but I know him best as a leader constantly in search of ways to bridge the gap between private business and public health. Its for that reason he helped create the Nigeria Private Sector Health Alliance. And its for that reason he's an advocate for agricultural research and malaria control. All of this is in addition to Alikos leadership on polio and other diseases. The last time I was in Nigeria, we met with dozens of people, from government leaders to front-line health workers. After I left, Aliko followed up with them to make sure they were doing the work they said they would do. This year, Nigeria is on pace for its lowest number of polio cases ever. Aliko is a big reason why." Bill Gates.
