The Bible Society of Nigeria (BSN) donated assorted Bibles, New Testaments, and Portions worth ₦14,394,300 in 2025 as part of its free Bible distribution objective.
The value of 8,268 copies of the Bible, New Testament, and Portions donated to the sighted was ₦9 million, while 77 complete sets of the Braille Bible given to people with visual disabilities cost ₦5.3 million.
In 2024, the organisation also donated Scriptures worth ₦7.4 million to the less privileged.
This gesture aligns with the Society’s mission to make the Holy Bible available to Nigerians in their preferred languages and formats and help them engage with the Word of God through programmes that transform their lives.
Beneficiaries of the free Bible distribution included prison inmates, churches, Christian fellowships, theological schools, schools for the blind, and individual members of the public, among others.
A complete set of the Braille Bible, which comes in 37 volumes, costs ₦70,000. The organisation carried out the free distribution programme with funds donated by different categories of its members, corporate organisations, churches, and individual donors.
Through its free Bible distribution and other laudable programmes, BSN continues to break every known barrier that makes the Word of God inaccessible to people.
It is a non-profit interdenominational Christian organisation that translates the Bible into local languages, distributes, publishes, and raises funds for Bible work.
So far, the organisation has translated the full Bible into 27 Nigerian languages, while translation/revision is ongoing in several other Nigerian languages.
