Posted by Those from Kwara State who want to perform the Haj this year have been asked to represent the state and the nation well.
While bidding farewell to the sixth group of pilgrims expected this year at Ilorin’s Babatunde Idi-Agbon International Airport on Thursday, Governor Abdulrazaq made the announcement.
In order to ensure a seamless Hajj exercise in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, he guaranteed that the state government would continue to support the state pilgrims board and donated $100 to each intended pilgrim.
Kwara State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board Chairman Professor Mashood Mahmud-Jimba stated that Governor Abdulrazaq has been instrumental in ensuring the success of the board’s many programs and initiatives.
Additionally, AbdulSalam Abdulkadir, the Executive Secretary of the Board, urged the aspiring pilgrims to follow both Saudi Arabian and Hajj-specific requirements.
At approximately 11:18 a.m., the sixth group of 315 state pilgrims boarded the Air-Peace aircraft and flew to Saudi Arabia.
