Melinda Gates To Visit Nigeria Thursday

While in Nigeria, Mrs Gates and Mrs Buhari will be looking at numerous challenges and vulnerabilities of women and children.

Until recently, these have hardly been the center of discussion at the global and national levels.

But the narrative are set to change with a partnership between Future Assured, the Non-Governmental Organisation of Mrs. Buhari and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

The meeting comes as an aftermath of one of the side meetings at the 71st UN General Assembly geared towards improving the lives of women and girls, where African First Ladies were gathered to make commitments to the development of adolescent girls in Africa.
