The Adamawa State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Commission has successfully concluded the 2025 Hajj, with the final batch of 68 pilgrims departing Yola International Airport on Saturday.
The last batch included members of the Amirul Hajj delegation led by the Emir of Fufore, Alhaji Sani Ribadu, the Executive Secretary of the Commission, Mallam Salihu Abubakar, his management team, and the Chairman of the Board, Alhaji Umar Kem.
According to the Commission’s secretary, the Adamawa delegation will transit through Borno State, where they will join pilgrims from Borno before proceeding to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the 2025 Hajj exercise.
The secretary of Adamawa State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Commission has assured that adequate arrangements are in place for the welfare, guidance, and safety of all pilgrims throughout their spiritual journey.
He added, “The Hajj rites will climax in the first week of Dhul-Hijjah, starting with the arrival at Mina, followed by the Day of Arafat, which is the pinnacle of the Hajj. Pilgrims will then proceed to Muzdalifah to collect pebbles, continue with the symbolic stoning of the devil (Ramy al-Jamarat) in Mina, perform the Eid sacrifice, and complete the rituals with the Tawaf al-Ifadah in Makkah.”
