RIYADH —King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) signed a cooperation agreement with a civil society organization to implement a project to drill 21 medium-depth solar-powered wells in the regions of Abuja, Enugu, Kano, Osun, Oyo, and Kaduna in Nigeria.

The agreement was signed by Assistant General Supervisor of the KSrelief for Operations and Programs Eng. Ahmed Al-Baiz in a ceremony held at the center’s headquarters in Riyadh.

Director of the Health and Environmental Aid Department at the KSrelief Dr. Abdullah Al-Moallem explained that the agreement aims to provide potable water for both humans and livestock, reduce deaths resulting from the consumption of polluted water, and fill the large water deficit in the regions targeted by the project, benefiting 105,000 individuals directly.
