The Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board has commenced the 2025 weekly hajj induction course in nine centres.
This is contained in a statement by the board’s Public Relations Officer, Sulaiman Dederi, on Tuesday in Kano.
Mr Dederi quoted the Director-General of the board, Lamin Danbappa, as saying this during a meeting with Ulama (Islamic scholars), who would lead the induction course at various centres across the state.
The DG, represented by the Director of Administration and General Services, Yusif Muktar, said the centres included Bichi, Dogowa, Gwarzo, the School for Arabic Studies, Rimin Gado, Gezawa, Kura, Rano, and Wudil.
Mr Danbappa solicited prayers from Ulama across the state for a successful conduct of the 2025 hajj operation.
He advised prospective pilgrims to endeavour to attend the induction course at their respective centres to acquire more knowledge on the rudiments of hajj.
