Hajj 2025: Kaduna Secures Accommodation For Pilgrims In Saudi Arabia
The Kaduna State Pilgrims Welfare Agency said it has secured befitting accommodation for its pilgrims in Makkah ahead of the 2025 Hajj.
Malam Buhari Marabar-Jos, a member of the Special Committee overseeing the agency, made the announcement following his return from Saudi Arabia, at a press briefing on Tuesday in Kaduna.
Buhari revealed that the accommodations had satisfied the requirements of both the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) and the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Hajj.
He also highlighted that a delegation led by the Executive Chairman of the agency, Malam Salihu Abubakar, was currently in Saudi Arabia to finalise all other arrangements before their return to Nigeria.
Buhari reiterated Gov Uba Sani’s unwavering commitment to the welfare and comfort of the state’s pilgrims, assuring that the government was fully dedicated to ensuring a smooth and fulfilling pilgrimage for everyone.
The official urged the prospective pilgrims to participate in the weekly enlightenment programmes held by the Agency across the 23 local government areas of the state.
“These programmes are designed to provide essential knowledge and guidance for a successful Hajj, especially given the significant investment of over N8 million made by each pilgrim.”
