He said, “The LCIF, which PIP Douglas Alexander now heads, has undertaken numerous humanitarian interventions of over $1bn around the world since its inception over 54 years ago.
“In Africa, its intervention has reached $200m, and in Nigeria alone, its intervention on projects dotting our geographical landscape is over $6.5m.”
Lawal said Africa and Nigeria on the other hand had respectively contributed over $8m and $1.2m to LCIF.
