NEMA Strengthens Partnership With KSrelief Agency

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening partnership with the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre, KSrelief, in providing humanitarian assistance to vulnerable Nigerians.

The director general, Mrs. Zubaida Umar, gave the assurance while receiving a delegation from KSrelief at the NEMA headquarters in Abuja.

She commended KSrelief for its sustained support to humanitarian interventions in Nigeria, noting that the partnership has continued to complement the efforts of the federal government in addressing the needs of vulnerable persons affected by disasters and other humanitarian challenges.

Speaking during the visit, representative of KSrelief, Mr Majeed Alanazi, said the visit was to strengthen engagement with NEMA ahead of the commencement of the direct distribution of food baskets donated by the center to vulnerable households in selected states.

Mr. Alanazi further commended NEMA for the longstanding partnership and support in facilitating humanitarian interventions, emphasising KSrelief’s commitment to supporting vulnerable communities and improving the welfare of those in need.

The direct distribution of the food basket would be implemented in Yobe, Benue, Kebbi, Taraba, and Anambra states.
