During the press briefing, Bill Gates said:
“For every child who dies there are four to five children who survived and yet because of malnutrition they never developed physically and mentally, and so the key resource of Nigeria which is its young population and the incredible capabilities that can be unleashed from all those people is greatly damaged if we don’t solve malnutrition,” …
“So this is a new emphasis on nutrition, I think we can have a very big impact here. You know we started discussion with the government on how we partner together on these things as part of the trip I had here and so we have a high expectation for what we can do,” Gates added.
