In its avowed determination to improve the lives of its citizens, the Federal Government has expressed its readiness to collaborate with the King Salman Foundation to drive socio-economic development in Nigeria.
This development follows a meeting held on Wednesday between the Minister of State for Finance, Dr Doris Uzoka-Anite, in her office in Abuja, with the representatives from the King Salman Foundation.
In a statement, Mohammed Manga, Director, Information and Public Relations, said the discussions focused on exploring areas of collaboration that would yield tangible benefits for Nigeria’s socio-economic development, such as Human Development, promoting education, health and poverty alleviation, Agricultural Development and Food Security.
The Minister emphasised the importance of collaboration in achieving the shared vision of improving the lives and livelihoods of Nigerians, particularly in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Administration.
She commended the Foundation for showing interest in partnering with Nigeria to drive projects in key sectors such as agriculture and health, with a focus on malaria eradication, malnutrition, conflict resolution between herders and farmers, and borderline sanitation.
Speaking earlier, the leader of the delegation, Dr Ali Alghamdi, assured of the Foundation’s commitment to working closely with the Ministry with a view to ensuring the realisation of the policy objectives of the present administration.
The King Salman Foundation, with partnerships in over 100 countries, has assured the Ministry of its commitment to working closely to realise the policy objectives of the present administration.
The Foundation is one of the donors to Live and Livelihood Funds (LLF), which offers a special grant aimed at supporting the member countries to execute projects with humanitarian concerns under the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB).
This historic partnership marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s development journey, poised to improve millions of Nigerians’ lives through fruitful collaboration.
