The Nigerian government disclosed this in Abuja, during celebrations marking Kuwait’s 65th National Day and 35th Liberation Day.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Dunoma Ahmed, said the 2025 financing agreement reflects deepening Nigeria-Kuwait ties and a shared commitment to human capital development.
According to the diplomat, both countries are expanding collaboration in agriculture, food security, renewable energy, infrastructure and digital connectivity, with subnational governments also seeking to attract Kuwaiti investment
Kuwait’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Salim Almuzayen, described the celebration as a reflection of enduring ties built on mutual respect and sustainable development.
The $62.8 million facility is expected to strengthen Nigeria’s ongoing education reforms, particularly in climate adaptation and inclusive access, particularly for girls and children with disabilities.
