Pilgrims from Kebbi State performing the Lesser Hajj (Umrah) have commended Kebbi State Governor, Comrade Dr.Nasir Idris, Kauran Gwandu, and the Chairman of the State Pilgrims Welfare Agency, Alhaji Faruk Musa Yaro, Enabo, for ensuring smooth transportation and providing befitting accommodations in the Holy Land.
They also expressed gratitude for the well-organized and free feeding arrangements, which significantly eased their pilgrimage experience.
Hajiya Uwale Birnin Kebbi and Hajiya Fatima described the entire arrangement as well-planned and remarkable, noting that it allowed them to fulfill their religious obligations in both Madina and Makkah with ease. Similarly, Alhaji Isah Assalafi from Birnin Kebbi praised Governor Idris and Alhaji Faruk Enabo for their commitment to improving pilgrimage logistics.
“Every time we visit the Holy Land for Hajj or Umrah, we witness new improvements in transportation, feeding, and accommodation. This is a testament to the dedication of our Governor and the leadership of the Pilgrims Welfare Agency,” he stated.

This marks the first time the Kebbi State Pilgrims Welfare Agency, under Alhaji Faruk Musa Yaro, Enabo, has been directly responsible for the transportation and arrangements of pilgrims for Lesser Hajj. With Governor Idris’ unwavering support, the agency successfully airlifted pilgrims from Sir Ahmadu Bello International Airport, Birnin Kebbi, directly to Saudi Arabia.
It is noteworthy that last year’s Hajj exercise, which saw Kebbi State hosting the inaugural airlift from Sir Ahmadu Bello International Airport, was widely regarded as the most successful in the state’s history.
It received high praise from both Saudi Arabian authorities and the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), earning Kebbi State national and international recognition.
