Dangote Urges Private Sector Action Against Malaria in Africa Summit
Africa's top industrialist, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, advocates for stronger private sector involvement in the fight against malaria during the Big Push Malaria Summit in Abuja. Dangote emphasizes the devastating impact of malaria on Africa's productivity and stresses the need for collective determination and investment to combat the disease.
Nigeria, where Dangote serves as the Chairman of the Nigeria End Malaria Council, bears the heaviest global malaria burden. The World Malaria Report 2024 reveals Nigeria accounts for 31% of global malaria cases.
Dangote urges governments, development partners, and the private sector to scale up investments in malaria eradication for sustainable progress and local ownership to free African nations from the disease's grip.
