The 1445 AH hajj exercise came to a close in Kwara state on Tuesday following the return of the last batch of pilgrims from the State of Harmony to Ilorin, the state capital.
The last batch of pilgrims comprises 312 people including the Amirul-Hajj, Dr. Ibrahim Yahaya Oloriegbe, and other state officials.
They arrived at the Gen. Tunde Idiagbon International Airport, Ilorin, at 1 pm .
They had initially been scheduled to return to the state on Thursday, July 19th, 2024.
Talking to journalists at the airport’s arrival wing, Dr Oloriegbe, who represented Kwara Central in the senate between 2019 and 2023, expressed gratitude to the Almighty Allah for the successful completion of the hajj exercise.
He also acknowledged the unwavering support from Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq which , he noted, had contributed to the smoothness of the entire process.
He also recognized the cooperation of the Mashood-Jimba-led Kwara state Pilgrims Welfare Board ,the officials from NAHCON and other aviation agencies in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia.
A statement made available toTeam@orientactualmags.com by Mr. Bolaji Aladie, who is Dr Oloriegbe’s media aide, quoted the former senator as advising those who had just performed hajj to make the most of the spiritual enlightenment provided by the journey and to refrain from engaging in any activities that would compromise their Hajj having become embodiment of saintliness.
Prof. Mashood Mahmud Jimba, Chairman of the State Pilgrims Board, expressed appreciation to the governor for appointing Dr Oloriegbe as the Amirul-Hajj, lauding the former lawmaker’s outstanding leadership which, he noted, was a significant asset for the State Board in facilitating the hajj operations.
Jimba assured that the Board will continue to capitalize on this momentum and apply the lessons learned in preparation for future operations.
It is worth noting that more than three thousand pilgrims were transported to Saudi Arabia from the Ilorin airport this year-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
