Ogun Muslim Pilgrims Board Concludes Screnning, Certifies over 400 for Hajj
Following successful screening and inoculation of intending pilgrims for the 2019 Hajj, the Ogun State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board (OGMPWB) has certified over four hundred applicants fit to embark on the holy pilgrimage.
Speaking with newsmen in Abeokuta, the Executive Secretary of the Board, Alhaji Abdulhakeem Kalejaye, said the exercise availed the intending pilgrims the opportunity of knowing their health status and take better care of themselves, in preparation for the pilgrimage, expressing satisfaction over the large turnout of participants.
“I am glad with the turnout of pilgrims. The exercise is highly successful, the medical team and the management were up to the task. I commend everyone for a job well-done”, he said.
In a related development, the 10-man ad-hoc Committee for the 2019 Hajj, Chaired by Imam Mufutau Majekodunmi had met at the Board’s Headquarters in Abeokuta, to further deliberate on the effective coordination of the pilgrimage.
Majekodunmi reminded the pilgrims to observe the tenets of Islam as they prepare for hajj, noting that paying huge sum of money without adherence to Allah’’s injunctions may be a waste of time, urging those who are yet to get their passports to do so, to enable them proceed with their documentation.
