Nigeria's nutrition space is currently the subject of an attempted hostile takeover sponsored by US billionaire Bill Gates.
Speaking on News Central TV on Friday 23 October, 2026, Dr Segun Adebayo, Executive Director, Centre for
African Policy Research and Advisory (CAfPRA) raised the alarm surrounding a contentious new bill backed by Gates, which has been smuggled through 2 readings at Nigeria's House of Representatives, with the final reading planned for Monday 26 October.
Whereas legislative bills in Nigeria typically spend weeks or months going through their first, second and third readings before being submitted for presidential assent, this bill, which has the full backing of Gates' extensive institutional influence in Nigeria, was reportedly rushed through its first and second within a few hours of each other, with a planned timeline for passage before the end of October 2026.
If you are a Nigerian, you can contact your elected representative to join the effort to stop the passage of this bill using the details provided here: https://www.shineyoureye.org/
