The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has donated 50 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Nigeria, aimed at providing relief to victims of the recent floods across the country, Okay.ng reports.

The aid was officially handed over to the Nigerian government at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.

Representatives from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Office of the National Security Adviser were present to receive the relief materials.

Salem Alshamsi, the UAE Ambassador to Nigeria, delivered the supplies on behalf of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed Al Nahyan. In his remarks, Ambassador Alshamsi emphasized the UAE’s ongoing commitment to supporting nations affected by natural disasters.
