Oloriegbe, the Kwara Contingent Leader (Amirul-Hajj), acknowledged the support of Governor Abdulrazaq and appealed for further cooperation, understanding, and unity among all stakeholders to ensure a successful operation.
The meeting, organized by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), discussed issues related to the smooth operation of the upcoming Hajj exercise, including the first flight on May 20, 2024.
