Hajj 2020: Kaduna to begin public enlightenment

Kaduna State Muslims Pilgrims Welfare Board has said it would soon embark on public enlightenment exercise with the view of educating intending Hajj pilgrims to Saudi Arabia this year.

This was even as it called on Islamic preachers to re-dedicate themselves towards educating the intending pilgrims.

The acting Director Operations of the Board, Mallam Abubakar Alhassan, made the call during an interactive session with Islamic preachers at Rigachikun, Kaduna on Sunday.

He said the preachers contributed immensely toward educating pilgrims at home and during the hajj exercise with or without allowances.

Alhassan explained that the enlightenment exercise would commence soon in all the 23 local government areas of Kaduna State.

He maintained that preparations for this year’s hajj as soon commence, saying, this year’s hajj will be a success like the previous.

“We want to ensure those intending pilgrims are carried along in what we are doing. We believe starting the enlightenment exercise in time will go along way in making hajj exercise a success,”

Alhassan commended the staff for their dedication and commitment towards making the hajj operations a success each passing year.
