The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board said it will hold the fourth phase of its education and orientation programme for 2026 intending pilgrims on April 25 and 26 at its Permanent Hajj Transit Camp in Bassan Jiwa, near the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
The exercise will feature the physical grouping of pilgrims ahead of airlift, alongside practical sessions on Hajj and Umrah rites to be conducted by designated clerics.
Chief Information Officer of the Board, Ahmed Saleh in a signed statement said that the programme forms part of early preparations by the Board to ensure a smooth and hitch-free Hajj operation.
The Board traditionally delivers its orientation in seven Nigerian languages—English, Hausa, Yoruba, Fulfulde, Nupe, Gana-Gana and Egbira—across different classes to enhance understanding among participants, the statement added.
