The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) has signed a cooperation agreement to launch a major water project in Nigeria. Conducted via video conference, the agreement was made with a civil society organization to drill 78 medium-depth, solar-powered wells across 10 Nigerian states. The project is expected to benefit around 733,350 people.
The agreement was signed at KSrelief’s headquarters in Riyadh by Eng. Ahmed bin Ali Al-Baiz, Assistant Supervisor General for Operations and Programs.
This initiative aims to provide safe and reliable drinking water for communities and livestock, address domestic water needs, and improve water access in under-resourced areas. It is also designed to curb the spread of waterborne diseases and parasites, reducing health risks—particularly for infants—and enhancing overall public health. Additionally, the wells will support better nutrition by ensuring access to clean water.
The project is part of KSrelief’s broader humanitarian efforts in the water and sanitation sector. Finally, it reflects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s commitment to improving living conditions and combating disease in vulnerable regions around the world.
