Jigawa State Pilgrims Welfare Board has urged this year’s intending pilgrims to attend the daily Hajj orientation lectures to gain knowledge about the obligations and Sunnah practices associated with Hajj operations.
The Director General of the board, Alhaji Ahmed Umar Labbo gave the advice in an interview with Radio Nigeria in Dutse the state capital.
He explained that the turn out of intending pilgrims at the ongoing orientation exercise organized in the designated centres across the twenty seven local government areas of the state was encouraging.
According to him, the call has become necessary because by attending the daily lectures organized by the board in the twenty-seven centers across the state, the pilgrims would easily be educated and enlightened on how to conduct themselves and perform an acceptable Hajj while in the Holy Land.
Alhaji Ahmed Umar Labbo also commended the intending pilgrims for taken the daily orientation lectures seriously.
He noted that by the end of the lectures the prospective pilgrims would be fully informed and know the hajj obligations here in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia.
The Director General, therefore urged them to continue with their usual habits of behaviour and be good ambassadors of the state, the country and also abide by laid down rules of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
He said the board had already secured hygienic accommodation for the state Pilgrims close to Haram, adding that feeding arrangements have been made to provide the most convenient company to feed the Pilgrims at the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Labbo therefore, commended Governor Umar Namadi for the support and cooperation given to the board for the smooth operations of the 2024 Hajj exercise.
