The Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board has directed all Hajj Induction Course instructors to resume daily training sessions at their respective centers starting Monday, April 7, 2025. Director-General Alhaji Lamin Rabi’u Danbappa made this announcement shortly before departing for Saudi Arabia to finalize arrangements for intending pilgrims from Kano State.
The Board has established additional induction centers, bringing the total number to 16, due to the high number of intending pilgrims. These centers are located in various local government areas, including Gwarzo, Dala, Kumbotso, Ungogo, Bichi, Wudil, Gezawa, Kura, Rano, Tudun-Wada, Doguwa, Sumaila, Rimin-Gado, and Rogo. There are also centers at the School for Arabic Studies and the Center for Qur’anic Studies, specifically for female pilgrims.
Alhaji Lamin Rabi’u Danbappa emphasized the importance of the induction courses, stating that they provide pilgrims with essential information on the rites of Hajj, travel guidelines, health precautions, and general conduct throughout the pilgrimage. "The Hajj induction courses are the backbone of the entire Hajj exercise," he said, urging all intending pilgrims to take the courses seriously to ensure they perform their Hajj rites correctly and without errors.
The Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board remains committed to ensuring that all pilgrims from the state are well-prepared for a successful and spiritually fulfilling Hajj experience. The Board's Public Relations Officer, Abdullahi Sulaiman Dederi, signed the statement announcing the resumption of the induction courses.
