Aliko Dangote, president of the Dangote Group and Chief sponsor of the Dangote Foundation has spoken that his association with Bill Gate will enable him to give a hunk of his property to charity just like the Microsoft founder (Bill) did.

Few days ago, the Africa’s richest man (Dongote) in a talk at the 2019 Goalkeepers occasion, hosted by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in New York revealed that, he want to get out a portion of his affluence to charity.

During his speech, he acknowledged meeting Bill has transformed him into a different person narrating that he was stunned after realizing how simple and kind hearted Bill and wife is per all the money in their possession.

He said:

“When I started my foundation in 1994, I never realized that we had this massive challenge in the health sector.

“Really, it was mind-boggling when we had this agreement to collaborate with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and that really opened my eyes to realize that there are a lot of challenges in health.

“At that time I didn’t have the opportunity of meeting Bill but meeting Bill changed me into a different person. This is somebody that has nothing to do with us in Africa or Nigeria but he is putting his money and his soul into everything.

“He is very committed to helping humanity and that really surprises me a lot about bill and I realized that he is a simple person and I never knew Bill would be this simple. He is a very soft-spoken guy and kind hearted.

“It is very difficult to find people like Bill in this world. Bill, we are very grateful and I can assure you that with my association with Bill, my only prayer is that in the next few years, I will try and give my chunk of wealth to charity.”
