Co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Bill Gates has shared his daughter, Phoebe’s reaction to his visit to Nigeria.
Gatekeepers News reports that the American business mogul said this while delivering his opening address at the ‘Advancing Africa: Unleashing the Power of Youth in Science and Innovation’ event in Lagos State on Wednesday.
Gates stated that Afrobeats music from Nigeria was popular all around the world and that his daughter got excited about having the chance of meeting Afrobeats artists such as Burna Boy and Rema in Nigeria.
He said, “Of course, being here in Nigeria, I can’t help but mention the amazing creativity that goes on here.
“Afrobeats from Nigeria are popular everywhere. When my daughter, Phoebe, heard I was coming to Nigeria, she said, ‘You’re lucky to go see Burna Boy and Rema’.
“But I also remember, the last time I was here, I did get to see Davido and Wizkid perform and I was quite impressed with that. So, my kids think I’ve come to a very hip place.”
