Tribute to those who persuaded northern religious leaders in 2003 that the vaccine was not designed to sterilise Muslim women and curtail the biological growth of Islam. Tribute to courageous vaccinators murdered by Boko Haram in 2013. Tribute to Bill Gates who spent billions fighting the nervous/paralysis disease in a foreign country. Tribute to the governments of Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan for their devotion to the cause. Progress!

Some of una sef jus be sadists... Whether u want to agree dis was a plus for the past administration or not still doesn't take it away from them. It wasn't all gloom and doom from the past govt as some positives were clearly recorded. Someone claimed polio vaccination had been ongoing since the abacha regime but did u ask urself why it was still very much endemic in the north The past govt did much to educate d region on the need for d continuous vaccination despite much criticism.

[size=14pt]Dangote, Bill Gates set to eradicate polio in Nigeria next year[/size]


Our Reporter
November 13, 2013



Dangote Foundation and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have resolved to
put an end to the disease called polio in Nigeria by 2014.

Gates, addressing a press briefing in Lagos, on Monday, said the uprising
in the north-east region of the country is undermining the fight to
eradicate polio in the country, especially in Borno and Yobe states.

He noted that a lot of problems still remained as some states do not pick
up the best vaccines while others do not release money as and when due for
the implementation of the campaign.

However, he said his Foundation is planning to improve the living standard
of Nigerians and develop the economy.

Chairman, Dangote Foundation, Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Co-Chair, Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation, Mr Bill Gates, said this in Lagos yesterday in
Protea Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos at a press briefing held to explain the plan of
the foundations to improve the living standard of Nigerians and develop
the economy.

Alhaji Dangote said the rate of polio in Nigeria, which had reduced to
about 51 per cent presently, will be totally reduced to zero level by the
end of next year as a result of ongoing efforts by the two foundations. He
said they have intensified campaign to make sure that all children in the
states where polio is prevalent are vaccinated. He confirmed that they
have been receiving support from northern leaders and that many families
have agreed to get the vaccine.

Mr Gates said they are collaborating to wipe out polio in Nigeria because
they believe it will help to improve the lives of people and move the
economy forward. On further moves to develop the economy, Alhaji Dangote
said they are planning to raise funds with some private sector operators
to develop the health and financial sectors. Mr Gates said they are
currently working with the government to produce a regulation that will
enable the poor and the unbanked to have access to financial services as
this will go a long way to reduce poverty and develop the economy.

Apart from the health and financial sector, Mr Gates said they are also
working to improve the agricultural sector. “We are working to double yam
productivity so that small older farmers can achieve food security and
raise their incomes,” he said, adding that they also research and deploy
new cassava varieties with improved nutritional value.

The two foundations also disclosed that they are facilitating a $50
million loan from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to Nigeria
for polio eradication and other child-killer diseases.[/quote]

U no dey shame? y u keep talking abt Someone dat has wasted 6 years?
I pity some Nigerian youths wella. Him for say na Buhari then you for like him post.


How can any right thinking Nigerian attribute such achievement to Buhari who has no medical or economic team? WHO says no new polio case has been recorded in Nigeria in the last 2 years. Does Buhari even have a medical team in his 5 months rule?


That's how you people said his body language improved power supply even power distribution company said at a press conference that it was due to the inputs of the last government.


On revamping of refineries, some of you still said body language did it even when Buhari himself said on national television that it is purely the work of the last administration.



Why can't his body language appoint ministers for almost 5 months now? Why can't his body language stabilize world oil price? Why can't his body language make one Dollar equals to one Naira? Why can't his body language stop nosediving of our economy? Why can't his body language stop retrenchments in almost all sectors in Nigeria? Why can't his body language stop Fulani act of maiming and massacre? Why can't his body diminish the activities of bokoharam despite moving the military headquarters to Maiduguri?



When Buhari's achievements start speaking, objective Nigerians will hear it and will surely applaud the president. I don't mean online and offline sentimental and blind sycophants.

[size=14pt]Dangote, Bill Gates to kick out polio in Kano in 3 yrs[/size]
on November 26, 2012   /   in News 8:59 pm

Kano – Dangote, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, have expressed optimism towards polio eradication in the next three years from Kano State.

Alhaji Aliko Dangote, the Founder of the Dangote Foundation, stated this in Kano on Monday, while signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the state government on the polio eradication.

Dangote said he was personally embarrassed that polio still existed in Kano when the globe was recording zero level of the disease.

He pledged to provide 100 per cent support to ensure total eradication of the disease from Kano and the country at large.

The Chief Executive of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Mr Jeffery Raikes, advised the state government on its scorecard, to recognise the serious stakeholders in the eradiation.

According to Raikes, we are hoping that our partnership with the state government will provide the desired change in the next three years.

He commended the State Joint Taskforce on polio, for its efforts towards reducing the resistance level at the grassroots level.

Speaking, the Kano State Deputy Governor, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, pledged to utilise the opportunities provided by the foundations for the eradication of the disease.

Ganduje, also said that as the Chairman of the committee on polio eradication, more successes have been recorded in terms of targeting the vulnerable children.

NAN reports that the state government and the two foundations have signed an MoU to eradicate polio from Kano in the next three years. (NAN)

Irrespective of when WHO declared Nigeria polio free Nigeria owes a debt of gratitude to Bill Gates and therefore Buhari has every right to speak to him when he sees him. You do know the Bill Gates foundation also has other goals aside polio right or your opinion is once we get what we want we avoid people? They also work to eradicate HIV, Malaria etc.

I just don't get the point you were trying to make that GEJ eradicated polio while Buhari is taking pictures with Bill Gates aside being petty.

Not exactly. Nigeria almost became polio free 12 years ago, but something happened.

The Obasanjo Administration was determined to eradicate polio in the early 2000s. They had help from WHO, Bill Gates and the Governors Forum. Polio was eradicated from many states, but there was a setback when religious leaders in Kano said that the vaccination program was a plot by the West to sterilise muslim children.

Remember that Kano had been the centre of the tragic trovan trials in which many babies died when they were given an experimental meningitis drug in the late 1990s, so the people of Kano did not trust western medicine. The Kano State Government (of Governor Ibrahim Shekarau) banned vaccination of children in the state in 2004. Polio reappeared in Kano and spread to many states that had been polio free (in fact, there were cases of polio in other countries that were traced to the strain of polio in Kano).

The government learned from that missed opportunity and got religious and traditional leaders on board the anti-polio campaign. Vaccines were also sourced from Indonesia (the largest muslim country in the world) in a bid to assure muslim leaders that the vaccines are not designed to sterilise muslim girls. Now we are here again.

That's one of the reasons that Dangote is passionate about the eradication of polio. He said he feels embarrassed that his state was responsible for the resurgence of polio.

-Nigeria is no longer investors favourite destination.
