Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, on Sunday received the fourth batch of Kano pilgrims who returned from Saudi Arabia after the successful completion of the 2026 Hajj exercise.
The Governor welcomed the pilgrims at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA), expressing gratitude to Almighty Allah for granting them a safe and successful pilgrimage.
In a statement by his spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, Governor Yusuf commended the Amirul Hajj and Emir of Gaya, Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim Abdulkadir, for his “exemplary leadership, guidance and commitment” throughout the pilgrimage. He said the Emir’s role contributed significantly to the smooth coordination of Kano pilgrims in the Holy Land.
The Governor also praised the management of the Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board for the conduct of the Hajj operations, describing their efforts as “professional, dedicated and worthy of commendation.”
Governor Yusuf stressed that the welfare, comfort, and safety of Kano pilgrims remained a top priority of his administration, adding that he was satisfied with reports on the overall performance of the 2026 Hajj exercise.
He urged the returning pilgrims to sustain the virtues of patience, discipline, sacrifice, and devotion acquired during the pilgrimage, and to reflect those values in their daily lives and relationships.
“Continue praying for peace, unity and prosperity in Kano State and Nigeria. The essence of Hajj goes beyond the rituals,” the Governor said.
Governor Yusuf further appreciated the Emir of Karaye, Alhaji Muhammad Muhammad Mahraz, for his support and guidance during the 2026 Hajj operations. He also expressed gratitude to members of the press and social media influencers for their “prompt information management” throughout the exercise.
The Governor wished the pilgrims safe reunions with their families and prayed for Allah’s acceptance of their Hajj and other acts of worship.
