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.
During the ceremony, Khalil Admawy, consul general of the custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, conveyed the Kingdom’s dedication to humanitarian causes.
He expressed his profound gratitude to King Salman bin Abdelaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for their unwavering support in providing aid to Muslims and underserved communities worldwide.
