Kano Pilgrims Welfare Board to Screen Hajj Pilgrims

The Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board is set to conduct screenings for intending pilgrims across various local government areas (LGAs) in Kano State. This initiative, announced by the Director-General Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim Matawalle during a press briefing, aims to improve accessibility and convenience for prospective pilgrims as they prepare for the upcoming Hajj pilgrimage.

Matawalle stated that the screenings are part of the board's efforts to enhance administrative arrangements, ensure proper documentation, and educate pilgrims on the necessary guidelines for a successful Hajj. Additionally, the board is making arrangements to accommodate Kano pilgrims near the Holy Mosques in Saudi Arabia to facilitate their daily prayers and religious obligations.

Matawalle also urged pilgrims to maintain good conduct to uphold the image of Kano State and Nigeria, expressing gratitude to Governor Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf for his support in ensuring timely preparations for the pilgrimage. The board is committed to providing effective services and ensuring a smooth pilgrimage experience for all intending pilgrims from Kano State.
