International rock star from the Irish band U2 Paul David Hewson, popularly known as Bono is back in Nigeria for the second time.
The front-man, whose band has earned critical acclaim over its 40 years of making rock music, is visiting not for musical endeavors, but to promote his non-partisan advocacy group ONE Campaign.
The campaign seeks to help fight extreme poverty in Africa and has successfully run campaigns including with some top Nigerian artistes including D’banj, Omotola Jalade-Ekehinde, Waje and other notable entertainers.
With ONE’s activities in Nigeria going a notch higher with this campaign, it also welcomes Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote on its board in Nigeria.
Mr. Dangote joins other world celebrities including Bill Gates on the board of the group, which has about 7 million members worldwide, with more than a third of that membership coming from Nigeria.
The Make Naija Stronger campaign seeks to raise public awareness and pressure political leaders to support policies and programmes that are saving lives and improving futures.
