The Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board has reaffirmed its commitment to working in synergy with government agencies, particularly the Kano State Transport Authority (Kano Line), to ensure seamless Hajj operations. This commitment was made by the Director General of the Board, Alhaji Lamin Rabi'u Danbappa, while receiving the management and committee of Kano Line in his office.
According to Alhaji Danbappa, "Before assuming office, we made a commitment in the presence of His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, to work closely and in synergy with all government agencies related to the Pilgrims Welfare Board." He assured that the Board will collaborate with Kano Line for the upcoming Hajj operations, presenting all necessary requirements for the transportation of pilgrims in advance to ensure Kano Line is well-prepared ahead of time.
Earlier, the Managing Director of Kano State Transport Authority (Kano Line), Alhaji Sa’idu Abdullahi Shu’aibu, stated that their visit to the Pilgrims Welfare Board was aimed at reviving the long-standing relationship between Kano Line and the Board. Alhaji Shu’aibu reiterated his commitment to revitalizing the state's transportation sector in line with the government's vision of elevating Kano State to greater heights.
He expressed his appreciation for the warm reception from the Board and pledged that Kano Line would be well-organized and fully prepared for the Hajj operations. This collaboration is particularly significant, given the recent announcement of the 2025 Hajj deposit for intending pilgrims from Kano State, which stands at ₦8,400,000.
