Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State said that the state government would not sponsor any pilgrim from the state for pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia or Jerusalem.

The governor announced this in Yola on Tuesday while receiving the 2009 Hajj report from the Leader of the 2009 Hajj pilgrims, Alhaji Barkindo Musdafa.

He, however, noted that the government would ensure the welfare, comfort and security of the pilgrims during such operations.

Nyako emphasised that “the state government would morally continue to encourage and support indigenes in the performance of the pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia and Jerusalem.

“The support was necessary in view of the prevailing peace in the state, attributing it to prayers made by pilgrims from the state while in the holy land.”

The governor urged the state Pilgrims Welfare Board to start the preparation for the 2010 operations to enable the board to educate and guide the pilgrims on how best to perform the pilgrimage.

Earlier, Musdafa had described last year’s hajj operations as the most successful ever carried out by the state contingent to Saudi Arabia.
