BILL GATE MEETS JONATHAN

According to Bill Gates, he was happy he had a good meeting with
President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria with regards to Polio cases in
Nigeria which are down 50% from this time last year. Below is the
report from Bill gates' website:
It's the kickoff to U.N. Week here in New York, and while locals like
to complain about the traffic (I can see why), it is a great
opportunity for me to meet with leaders from parts of the world where
our foundation is working—to talk about global ...
health and development
projects.
I started off on Monday morning meeting Nigeria's President Goodluck
Jonathan. Besides our work with our partners on polio in Nigeria, we
are also working with the government to improve their agricultural
sector. I've written before about China's potentialto help developing
countries in Africa learn from its successes, but in Nigeria we have a
really interesting project just getting off the ground where Brazil is
working with Nigeria to bring up agricultural productivity in their
northern Guinea savannah. Brazil has done an amazing job helping their
own farmers in the Cerrado region to improve their yields, which
brings tremendous economic and social benefits.
President Jonathan assembled a meeting of experts in New York and we
spent a couple of hours reviewing their progress and discussing next
steps. I also had a chance to catch up with President Jonathan about
the work we're doing with our partners on polio, which is showing
encouraging progress. Nigeria had 43 confirmed cases of polio in the
first 8 months of 2013, a drop of 50 percent from the same period last
year. Finishing the job is quite an undertaking, so having the
President's support is a big deal. I was pleased we got to spend as
much time together as we did.
