Industrialist Aliko Dangote on Monday led American business mogul Bill Gates on a visit to President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Villa in Abuja.
The visit is part of the Gates Foundation’s commitment to working closely with communities and leaders to support innovation.
Last Friday, Dangote said after visiting the president that he would make another call at the seat of power soon, this time with the co-founder of Microsoft.
“I did not come to do much. I only came to inform the president about our visit with Microsoft co-founder and my friend Bill Gates. We will both see the president on Monday when we come together,” the chairman of Dangote Group had told State House correspondents.
Although Dangote did not reveal the purpose of Monday’s visit, it is believed to be part of ongoing consultations Tinubu is having with key leaders within the local and global business community.
On June 8, Tinubu received Exxon Mobil executives, Liam Mallon, Richard Laing and Adesua Dozie, in a private meeting at the Villa.
In his inaugural speech on May 29, he promised local and foreign investors that he will “review all their complaints about multiple taxation and various anti-investment inhibitions.”
