The US Government has made public $27 million humanitarian aid package for Nigeria to assist vulnerable populations, build resilience against food insecurity and climate change impacts.
The US Mission in Nigeria, which stated this on earlier today in Abuja, said the funding was part of the US Government’s $536 million humanitarian aid package to Sub-Saharan Africa.
The comprehensive aid package was officially unveiled by Uzra Zeya, US Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights.
“The funding will be channelled to those in need through the State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration and USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance.
Mr Mills said that the package underscored the US commitment to providing life-saving assistance and protection to vulnerable people and host communities throughout the continent.
