The embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Abuja has distributed 100 tons of dates to Kano state and the federal capital territory (FCT) as part of its annual humanitarian relief efforts.
The initiative, facilitated by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief), aims to support vulnerable families and strengthen the ties between Saudi Arabia and Nigeria.
Faisal bin Ibrahim Al-Ghamdi, Saudi’s ambassador to Nigeria, said the Kingdom remains dedicated to humanitarian causes.
He added that Saudi Arabia is committed to fostering Islamic solidarity and providing relief to those in need.

He assured that the embassy, in collaboration with local authorities and humanitarian organisations, will ensure the dates reach vulnerable families in different regions of Nigeria.
