The Kaduna State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board says it has so far registered 5,000 intending pilgrims for the 2017 pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.
The board’s Assistant Director, Public Relations, Yunusa Abdullahi, made this known in an interview in Kaduna.
Abdullahi said that the board began the registration of intending pilgrims from the 23 local government areas of the state in January.
He said that those registered were mostly farmers, adding that the exercise was ongoing even as the board awaits allocation of seats from the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, NAHCON, for 2017 exercise.
Meanwhile the board has said it will commence a weekly enlightenment for all registered intending pilgrims for the 2017 pilgrimage in all the registration centres in the state.
