The Executive Secretary of the state’s Pilgrims Welfare Board further charged the intending Pilgrims especially from Niger State and in parts of the country not to relent in their prayers for the realization of this year’s Hajj exercise in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

It could be recalled that the 2020 Pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia by Muslims across the world was cancelled as a result of the resurgence of COVID-19 pandemic .<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0 countries world over and some states in Nigeria\u00a0 have already commenced the registration of intending Pilgrims, just as the authorities of the Kingdom of\u00a0 Saudi Arabia have announced\u00a0 taking adequate measures to guard against the resurgence\u00a0 of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic in that country in the new year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
