Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre has distributed food items to over 2,000 households in eight local government areas of Kano State, mostly for people with disabilities (PWDs).
Abdulrahman ibn Abdul Aziz Al-Zaben, the team leader of the foundation, said the program aims to support families and those in need during the holy month of Ramadan every year to alleviate hardship and suffering.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) implemented the program in Nigeria.
Food items distributed included 25kg bags of beans, 25kg bags of rice, and 4kg of Masavita, among others. At the event, Kano State Deputy Governor Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo expressed gratitude to the centre for remembering the people of Kano during Ramadan.
The Director of Special Duties at NEMA, Fatima Kashim, who represented NEMA Director General Zubaida Umar, also thanked the centre for reaching out to those in need.
The deputy governor, DG NEMA, and the representative of the King Salman Humanitarian Relief Center called on the beneficiaries to make good use of the items to improve the lives of their families.
