The President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu will on Monday, hold a meeting with Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates and the Chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote in the State House.
Tinubu is scheduled to meet with Gates and Dangote on Monday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Dangote disclosed this after a closed-door meeting with Tinubu at the State House on Friday.

‘We will both see the president on Monday when we come together.’

Meanwhile, Tinubu have informed the National Economic Council, NEC, led by Vice President Kashim Shettima that he would not for any reason tolerate excuse for failure.
The council, which oversees the economy, is composed of the vice president, 36 federation governors, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and other coopted government officials.
In response to the National Income, Salaries and Wages Commission’s suggestion to pay workers a consequential adjustment of N702.919 billion to lessen the impact of the elimination of fuel subsidies, the council announced that it will take Tinubu’s warning into consideration.
Addressing the council before it went into a closed-door meeting, President Tinubu directed it to come up with interventions to mitigate the effects of petroleum subsidy removal.
He charged the council to support his administration in transforming the economic fortunes of the country.
