The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board has reaffirmed its readiness to deliver a seamless, well-coordinated, and spiritually fulfilling 2026 Hajj exercise for intending pilgrims from the territory.
The Director of the Board, Mallam Kadiri Edah, gave the assurance when he received the newly appointed North Central Zonal Coordinator of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Hajiya Zainab Mohammed, and her team during a courtesy visit to the Board’s headquarters in Abuja.
Mallam Edah stated that the Board had put in place “adequate mechanisms” to ensure the success of the forthcoming Hajj operations, adding that new strategies are being developed to enhance pilgrims’ experience and promote efficiency at every stage of the exercise.
He called for continued collaboration with NAHCON to address potential challenges, emphasizing that “each Hajj operation comes with its peculiar demands that require strong institutional partnership and flexibility.”
Earlier, Hajiya Zainab Mohammed said her visit was aimed at strengthening coordination and familiarizing herself with the leadership of the FCT Pilgrims Board. She commended the Board for its proactive preparations and urged sustained cooperation to ensure a smooth, safe, and successful pilgrimage for all participants from the FCT and across the North Central region.
Mohammed reaffirmed NAHCON’s commitment to maintaining excellence in Hajj operations nationwide, assuring that the Commission would continue to work closely with state and FCT boards to deliver improved results in future exercises.
Discussions during the meeting focused on key operational areas including registration of intending pilgrims, camping logistics, and airlifting arrangements as preparations intensify for the 2026 Hajj to the Holy Land.
