Emir of Birnin Gwari, Alhaji Zubairu Jibril Mai Gwari ll, has tasked pilgrimage officials in local government areas of Kaduna state to fear Allah and discharge their duties with honesty and commitment.
He said it was their duty to educate intending pilgrims under their care the rudiments of Hajj operations.
He stated this at a workshop entitled Train-the-Trainers organised for Ulama and Pilgrims Officers from the 23 local government areas.
He added that there was no way a pilgrim could perform acceptable Hajj without the full knowledge of the exercise.
“You have to discharge your duties with the fear of Allah and commitment so that our pilgrims can understand the real Hajj exercise,” he said, and commended the board management for a job well done in transforming the board.
Earlier, Kaduna State pilgrims Welfare Board Overseer, Alhaji Muhammadu Kabiru Kasim, said they had succeeded in sanitising the board from touts who specialised in defrauding pilgrims in the state.
