Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) has announced plans to distribute 4,900 food baskets to vulnerable individuals in Adamawa and Kebbi States, Nigeria.
The initiative, executed in collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), aims to alleviate food insecurity in the targeted regions.
KSrelief representative, Mr. Al Yousef Abdulkarim Abdul Mohsen, made the announcement during a courtesy visit to NEMA’s headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday, December 24, 2024. He disclosed that a contractor has been engaged to supply the food items, while NEMA will oversee their reception and facilitate direct distribution to beneficiaries.
“This initiative is part of KSrelief’s international assistance program, dedicated to supporting vulnerable individuals and families worldwide,” Mr. Abdul Mohsen stated, expressing confidence in NEMA’s capability to ensure transparent and effective delivery of the aid.
Responding on behalf of NEMA, Director General Mrs. Zubaida Umar, represented by Dr. Onimode Abdullahi Bandele, Director of Planning, Research, and Forecasting, thanked KSrelief for its support. She noted that the assistance would complement the Nigerian government’s ongoing efforts to address the needs of vulnerable populations.
“NEMA is committed to ensuring that the distribution process is transparent and accountable, ensuring the aid reaches its intended beneficiaries,” Mrs. Umar affirmed.
This collaboration underscores the importance of international partnerships in addressing humanitarian challenges and improving the well-being of vulnerable communities.
