American business magnate and philanthropist, Bill Gates,
has lauded the Goodluck Jonathan administration for recording significant
success in its fight against the endemic polio virus disease.
The co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,
took to his official twitter handle, @BillGates, to celebrate the success,
noting that it is one of his favourite stories of the year.
His tweet with an accompany diagram and a website link,
reads, "One of my favourite stories of 2014: In just one year, Nigeria went
from 50 polio cases to 6... "
Commenting further on his personal note of "Good news
you may have missed in 2014", Gates stressed that 'Nigeria had a pretty
good year', projecting that the country will be polio-free in no distant time.
He said that the infrastructure Nigeria has built to fight polio actually made
it easier for the country to contain the dreaded Ebola virus disease (EVD).
