According to the statement, the items were presented to the minister of state for foreign affairs, Hajiya Khadija Bukar Abba Ibrahim, by the Charge d’Affaires, Dr Yahya Ali Mughram.
Mughram wished Nigeria and Saudi Arabia peace, progress and prosperity while expressing the wishes of the kingdom for stronger bilateral ties between the two countries.
In response, Hajiya Khadijah thanked the Saudi government for the gesture. The minister stated that the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) would be the major beneficiaries of the donation and the gesture would certainly strengthen the long-existing bilateral relations between the two countries.
