Aliko Dangote is named one of TIME’s 100 Titans and Bill Gates wrote an article on him saying, “Aliko is Africa’s richest man, and his business activities drive economic growth across the continent. That’s impressive, but I know him best as a leader constantly in search of ways to bridge the gap between private business and public health. It’s for that reason he helped create the Nigeria Private Sector Health Alliance. And it’s for that reason he is an advocate for agricultural research and malaria control.” Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is named one of TIME’s 100 Influential people and this is what Bono, the lead singer of U2 and the co-founder of ONE has to say about her, “Ngozi has made corruption her enemy and stability her goal. She is fiercely intelligent; everyone wants her to work with them. I couldn’t be prouder to work for her.”
