“I want to thank you most profoundly for being good ambassadors of our dear state in this holy land. I am indeed very proud of you,” Aliyu said. “I equally appreciate your maturity and high sense of responsibility while undertaking the Hajj rituals.”

The governor explained that the financial support was aimed at easing the pilgrims’ preparations for their return journey while also reaffirming his administration’s unwavering commitment to the welfare of citizens both at home and abroad. He praised the leadership of the state Amirul Hajj, Alhaji Ummarun Kwabo, and the Sokoto State Pilgrims Welfare Agency for their outstanding efforts in organizing a smooth and successful pilgrimage

Aliyu appealed to the pilgrims to remember Nigeria in their prayers, particularly for an end to insecurity and other challenges facing the nation. “No matter the effort we are putting into addressing insecurity, prayers remain the best weapon to end the insecurity that has been crippling our development,” he noted philosophically.

The governor offered condolences to pilgrims from Gudu and Shagari Local Government Areas over the demise of two pilgrims, Hajiya Hadiza and Bala Jangebe, during the Hajj. “We pray for divine mercy for their departed souls and pray comfort for their grieving families,” he added.

The Amirul Hajj, Alhaji Ummarun Kwabo, thanked the governor for the unwavering support given to the state’s pilgrims, highlighting the diligent work of the various committees that contributed to the success of the Hajj operations. With his generous donation and steady leadership, Aliyu continues to reinforce his administration’s dedication to the spiritual and social welfare of Sokoto citizens, both at home and abroad
