Bill Gate to be honour with CFR

The world's richest man Bill Gates is in Nigeria for the Stakeholders Meeting on Polio Eradication. The billionaire businessman and Africa's richest man Aliko Dangote were received at State House in Abuja by President Jonathan and other top government officials. President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday honoured a co-Chairman of Bill and Melinda Gate Foundation, Mr. Bill Gate, with a national honour of Commander of the Federal Republic.

Jonathan said the honour was in recognition of Gate’s supports towards the eradication of Polio myelitis in Nigeria.

The President said Gate would be conferred with the national honour alongside other awardees in December. See more photos after the cut..
