The Chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has expressed the need for Nigerians to stop medical tourism and for the country to also start producing drugs locally.
He said this at the Gates Foundation’s Goalkeepers event held in Lagos on Wednesday.
Stressing the need for every Nigerian including the rich to be able to treat themselves in Nigeria when they fall sick, Dangote hinted that it is important to partner with Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation to achieve this.
“What we need to do is to make sure we stop this health tourism and we should now get in to start producing our own drugs,” Dangote said while speaking during a panel discussion at the event.
“We should now make sure that when we are sick, we don’t have to travel abroad, all of us, but we need to do partnership with Bill (Gates).”
