…All Logistics Finalized Ahead of Arafat, Medical and Welfare Systems Fully Activated
As the 2024 Hajj approaches its spiritual pinnacle, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board has finalized all necessary arrangements for the smooth movement of pilgrims from Makkah to Mina, in preparation for the core rites of Hajj.
In a strategic review meeting held in Makkah, the Board’s Director, Malam Kadiri Edah, led top officials in assessing the readiness of key logistical components, including transportation, accommodation, feeding, medical services, and the use of the Nusuk digital ID system.
“This next phase is the heart of the Hajj journey. Our entire team must remain alert and dedicated to delivering the best experience possible to our pilgrims,” Malam Edah emphasized during the session.
The Director noted that pilgrims from the FCT, who arrived from Madinah in earlier phases, have settled well and are in good health. He affirmed that the transition to Mina—often referred to as the “City of Tents”—will commence Tuesday, as scheduled in the official Hajj timetable.
Edah also disclosed that the FCT contingent has been allocated sufficient space in Mina, with all feeding and lodging logistics already in place. He highlighted that meticulous planning has gone into ensuring that pilgrims are physically and mentally prepared for the critical rites ahead, including the standing at Arafat—the spiritual climax of the pilgrimage set for Thursday.
“We’ve taken proactive steps to guarantee that every aspect of the journey is seamless. Pilgrims can focus entirely on their worship while we handle the rest,” Edah stated.
The Board emphasized its unwavering commitment to pilgrims’ welfare, assuring that medical teams, welfare officers, and support staff will be fully deployed throughout the transition and during the rituals.
Officials also encouraged pilgrims to maintain discipline, follow official guidelines, and remain spiritually focused as they proceed through the most significant days of Hajj.
With all systems now in motion and confidence high, the FCT Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board stands poised to deliver a safe, well-coordinated, and spiritually fulfilling pilgrimage experience.
