The Kaduna State Pilgrims Welfare Agency says it would begin airlifting of 2025 intending pilgrims to Saudi Arabia for Hajj on May 14.
The Executive Chairman of the Agency, Malam Salihu S. Abubakar, announced this on Tuesday during a live radio program in Kaduna, where he outlined the state’s preparations for this year’s pilgrimage.
A total of 4,060 pilgrims from Kaduna State will perform the Hajj, with UMZA Airline serving as the official carrier for their airlift to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
As part of the mandatory pre-departure protocols, all pilgrims will undergo comprehensive medical screening at the Hajj Transit Camp in Mando.
In compliance with international and Saudi Arabian health regulations, all female pilgrims are required to undergo pregnancy tests before departure.
Malam Salihu urged all intending pilgrims to strictly adhere to the rules and guidelines set by the Saudi authorities, emphasizing the importance of discipline, group coordination, and personal safety throughout the pilgrimage.
He assured that the agency is fully committed to ensuring a hassle-free and spiritually fulfilling Hajj experience for all pilgrims.
“The Agency appreciates the cooperation of all stakeholders and calls on the public to support the pilgrims with prayers for a successful and safe journey,” he added.
