The Co-Chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Mr. Bill Gates, again on Monday criticised the Federal Government’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan.
Gates, in an interview with the CNN, said that the Federal Government’s investment in education and health was not good enough.


“While it may be easier to be polite, it’s more important to face facts so that you can make progress,” the philanthropist told a room of Nigeria’s government elite that included the President.
In an exclusive television interview with the CNN, Gates said he spoke out to implore Nigerian politicians to focus on human capital and its large youth population.

“The current quality and quantity of investment in this young generation in health and education just isn’t good enough. So, I was very direct,” he told CNN.
The philanthropist had at a special session of the National Economic Council, on Thursday, said Nigeria would do better with strong investments in health and education, rather than concentrate on physical infrastructure to the detriment of human capital development.

He had said, “Nigeria is one of the most dangerous places in the world to give birth, with the fourth worst maternal mortality rate in the world ahead of only Sierra Leone, Central African Republic and Chad. One in three Nigerian children is chronically malnourished.

“In upper middle-income countries, the average life expectancy is 75 years. In lower middle-income countries, it’s 68; in low-income countries, it’s 62. In Nigeria, it is lower still, just 53 years.

“The Nigerian government’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan identifies investing in the people as one of three strategic objectives. But the execution priorities don’t fully reflect people’s needs, prioritising physical capital over human capital. People without roads, ports and factories can’t flourish. And roads, ports and factories without skilled workers to build and manage them can’t sustain an economy.”
But the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, in an interview with State House correspondents after the NEC meeting, faulted the claim of Gates.

He said the plan had enough provisions for education and health, adding that what was needed was for states to complement efforts of the Federal Government.

“While it may be easier to be polite, it’s more important to face facts so that you can make progress,”

When you are a Billionaire in Dollars, you don't need an excuse to be impolite - especially when you're dishing out the bitter truth to a congregation of deceptive bloodsuckers.

And that Mumu has started doing the one thing that this present administration seems to do best - SHIFTING BLAMES.

The past two weeks has been full of advice from every quarter to the FG by reputable individuals and it is simply wisdom listen and adhere ..

Alright . Have a great day

APC and her propaganda machinery have been telling Nigerians lies all along even with their imaginary economic recovery growth plan.

The time and resources the confused people ought to invest in real sectors they used it in orchestrating blame games and propaganda.

you get off elrufais it stinks gadamit

Bill Gates is someone who understands the essence of skilled labour and human capital development. Unlike what we have here, he actually thrived because he grew up and learnt in an enabling environment. An environment that encourages visionaries.

I find it hard to imagine what he thinks of our leaders collectively, considering how they end up wasting human resources and causing brain drain.

I think our government has failed us. It's left to us as a people to not fail our kids.

The human capital Bill Gates talked about, it's up to us to build it ourselves. In a society where our education system has failed us, we can't overemphasize the relevance of personal development.

Well, in my little way, I'm combating this.

OK .
I saw a certain thread of BMC blockheads and religious bigots praising the tweeter page of the billionaire. They were happy because Bill Gates said he was, "....Excited about visiting Nigeria and meeting with the two incompetent mofos we are unlucky to have as representative. One an unqualified cattle header and the other, a pastor, PhD holder and an hypocrite to basic common sense.

These same BMC mofos and notorious head slammers and head-to-the -ground -NEXT -to -a-butt Zombies supported El rufai clamp back on Bill Gates concerns about the state of this irredeemable cesspit. Some called the one man whose hard earned money is trying to eradicate Polio from their desert states all kinds of unprintable names.With the way they give birth to children without walking legs and carriable heads,one would think they would at least pay attention to their life saver, Bill Gates.


Well, ignorance is a disease. It's sold in dericas of cans in the North.

Mr bill gate,have u forgotten that how president has ear problem?

“While it may be easier to be polite, it’s more important to face facts so that you can make progress" -Bill Gates 2018


Unfortunately, APC doesn't like facts...they prefer propaganda.

Dis man again..Im don do..We have heard you abeg.
When him turn to nigerian economic analyst?I feel Dangote is the person telling him evrytin his saying.
Can adenuga or dangote tell America what to do,ad they take them serious?Why all the attention,like say im be god?

Well done Bill

Nigerian leader focus on human capital and education? If wishes were horses...

Bill Gate is hitting them back to back. That's the definition of a man. He said it, he still affirmed what he said before the entire world. The Nigerian government should be ashamed that Someone outside the shell understands the economy inside the shell better than the occupants.



The room is now open to EL Rufai and co to defend their ignorance.

Or they will start blaming opposition for bribing Bill gate to say that.

Nnamdi kanu said thesame thing and he was called a terrorist

Oh our Father.

How I wish our so called leaders will just yield to what Bill gate had to say.
God bless Nigeria and Nigerians!!!

Very soon you'd hear he's planning to buy Nigeria
