Led by the secretary-general of the Nigerian Red Cross Society, Dr. Abubakar Kende, both parties emphasised the urgent need for collective action in response to the dire circumstances faced by millions of Nigerians. With approximately 26.5 million people in desperate need of sustenance to prevent death and prolonged suffering, the partnership between NRCS and Ecobank Nigeria signifies a pivotal moment in addressing this humanitarian emergency.
Abubakar Kende stated, “I am pleased to announce a significant partnership between The Nigerian Red Cross and Ecobank to raise funds locally for the Hunger Crisis Appeal.”
