By Saudi Arabia has donated 100 tons of dates to Nigeria as a humanitarian gift from the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. The initiative, facilitated by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief), aims to support vulnerable families and strengthen diplomatic ties.
At an official ceremony in Abuja, Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Faisal bin Ibrahim Al-Ghamdi, reaffirmed the Kingdom’s commitment to humanitarian aid. He expressed gratitude to King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for their continuous support of underserved communities worldwide.
“This donation reflects Saudi Arabia’s dedication to fostering unity and providing relief, especially during significant religious periods like Ramadan,” Al-Ghamdi stated.
The donation is split between two locations, with 50 tons designated for Abuja and another 50 tons for Kano State. The Saudi Embassy, in collaboration with local authorities and humanitarian organizations, will oversee distribution to ensure the dates reach those in need.
Saudi Arabia has been a key partner in global humanitarian efforts, particularly in Nigeria. Through Vision 2030, the Kingdom is expanding its international relief initiatives, reinforcing its role in promoting global peace and stability.
The gesture comes at a crucial time, offering much-needed assistance to communities facing economic challenges while strengthening the long-standing ties between Saudi Arabia and Nigeria.
