The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief), a Saudi Arabia-based humanitarian organization, has announced plans to distribute 4,900 food baskets to vulnerable individuals in Adamawa and Kebbi States.
The initiative, set to be implemented in partnership with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), was unveiled by KSrelief representative Mr. Al-Yousef Abdulkarim Abdul-Mohsen during a courtesy visit to NEMA’s headquarters in Abuja.
According to Mr. Abdul-Mohsen, KSrelief has contracted a supplier to provide the food items, while NEMA will handle their reception and oversee direct distribution to identified beneficiaries in the two states.
He noted that this gesture is part of KSrelief’s global efforts to support vulnerable individuals and families. Expressing confidence in NEMA’s capabilities, Mr. Abdul-Mohsen stated that the collaboration would ensure the successful delivery of the aid.
In her response, NEMA’s Director General, Mrs. Zubaida Umar, represented by the Director of Planning, Research, and Forecasting, Dr. Onimode Abdullahi Bandele, expressed gratitude to KSrelief for its generous support. She highlighted that the assistance would complement the government’s ongoing efforts to address the needs of vulnerable populations across Nigeria.
