The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has donated 100 tons of dates to Nigeria ahead of fasting during Ramadan. A handover ceremony was held in Abuja, where Saudi Ambassador Faisal bin Ibrahim Al-Ghamdi emphasized the Kingdom’s commitment to humanitarian aid and Islamic solidarity. The donation, facilitated by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief), will be distributed to vulnerable families in Abuja and Kano (50 tons each).
