In an opinion piece, Akin Fadeyi traces the evolution of public lighting from 9th-century Cordoba to 19th-century London, illustrating how enduring legacies have been built through sustained commitment to improving lives. He cites examples such as Bill Gates, whose foundation has committed over US$100 billion to global health and development, Warren Buffett, who has pledged tens of billions to philanthropy, and MacKenzie Scott, who has directed billions in unrestricted grants to education and other causes. The article suggests that legacies are defined not by wealth or political influence alone but by consistent efforts to better humanity.
