The Executive Chairman of the Kebbi State Pilgrims Welfare Agency, Dr. Faruku Aliyu Yaro has met with Hajj Guides across the state as part of efforts to strengthen the mobilisation of intending pilgrims for the 2027 Hajj exercise.
The meeting, held at the agency’s headquarters, focused on enhancing collaboration between the Pilgrims Welfare Agency and Hajj Guides to ensure prospective pilgrims complete the payment of their Hajj fares within the stipulated timeframe.
Speaking during the meeting, Yaro underscored the critical role of Hajj Guides in sensitising and mobilising intending pilgrims, stressing that early payment of Hajj fares would enable the agency to make adequate preparations for a smooth and successful pilgrimage.
He urged the Hajj Guides to intensify awareness campaigns within their respective communities and encourage prospective pilgrims to take advantage of the payment window to avoid last-minute challenges.
The Executive Chairman reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to providing efficient and transparent services, assuring intending pilgrims of the government’s readiness to ensure a well-organised and hitch-free 2027 Hajj exercise.
The meeting forms part of the agency’s broader strategy to strengthen stakeholder engagement and improve the overall coordination of Hajj operations in Kebbi State.
