Recent Rice University Business School graduate Idris Bello has partnered with a campaign called “Libraries Across Africa” which seeks to establish low-cost infrastructure for libraries and grant Africans with more books and Internet access.

Bello, who arrived in the U.S. from Nigeria in 2004, has been influential in creating a number of programs aimed to make Africans more self-efficient.

The Huffington Post named Bello  “Greatest Person Of The Day.”
