Shehu Sani Applauds U.S. $32.5 Million Donation for Displaced Nigerians

Former Kaduna Central Senator and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Shehu Sani, has praised the United States government for donating funds to support displaced persons in Nigeria.

In a post shared via his official X handle on Thursday, September 4, 2025, Sani revealed that the U.S. government contributed $32.5 million to the World Food Programme (WFP). The donation is aimed at providing food and nutrition for hundreds of thousands of Nigerians who have been displaced by conflict and insecurity.

Commending the gesture, the former lawmaker described the act as a reflection of empathy and compassion.

“The donation of $32.5 million by the US government to the WFP for food and nutrition for hundreds of thousands of displaced Nigerians is commendable. This act of generosity and empathy is well appreciated,” Sani wrote.


The intervention comes at a time when humanitarian needs in Nigeria remain pressing, with millions displaced due to insurgency, banditry, and other security challenges.

While applauding the support from the U.S., some Nigerians have also called on the Federal Government to intensify efforts in providing sustainable solutions for displaced citizens beyond international aid.
