According to Guardian, MINISTER of State for Health, Dr. Mohammed Ali Pate, Wednesday voluntarily resigned his membership of the cabinet of President Goodluck Jonathan. The resignation, which has since been accepted by the President, took effect from Wednesday. # In a resignation letter dated July 22 and addressed to Jonathan, the minister said he was leaving the cabinet to take up the position of Professor in Duke University’s Global Health Institute in the United States of America. #He said in that new capacity, he would participate in a university-wide Africa initiative and will also serve as Senior Adviser to Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation based in Washington DC. # Pate, however, offered to continue his service, on part-time basis, as the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Polio Eradication and the public-private coalition for Saving One Million Lives Initiative.
