Over 1,500 intending pilgrims have deposited their Hajj fees with the Osun State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board to enable them to perform this year’s pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.
The Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Board Chairman, Alhaji Maruf Ishola, disclosed this as part of the four-week enlightenment program for the pilgrims for a successful Hajj.
According to him, the State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board has been allocated over 1,500 seats by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria.
Sheikh Maruf Ishola appreciated the Almighty Allah for the grace to surpass many states in the South West, in terms of registration and clearance for this year’s Hajj exercise.
He also called on the intending Pilgrims who are yet to complete the remaining balance to do so without further delay so that they could secure clearance for the operation, assuring them that all necessary logistics have been put in place for a hitch-free Hajj exercise.
