2026 Hajj: Gov Mohammed Gifts N120,000 To Each Bauchi Pilgrim

Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Mohammed, has gifted 300 Saudi Riyal, equivalent of N120,000 to each pilgrim from the state participating in the 2026 hajj in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The governor made the announcement during the flag-off of the distribution of official travelling bags to the pilgrims ahead of their scheduled airlift to Nigeria from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Represented by his wife, Aisha Bala Mohammed, the governor commended the pilgrims for their discipline, peaceful conduct, and exemplary representation of Bauchi State throughout the Hajj exercise.

Meanwhile, the wife of the governor, Aisha Bala Mohammed, through a personal project, also announced the donation of a prayer mat and a blanket to each of the pilgrims as part of efforts to support their comfort and spiritual activities during the concluding stage of the pilgrimage.

She urged the pilgrims to continue praying for peace, unity, and progress in Bauchi State and Nigeria at large.

Earlier, the executive secretary of the Bauchi State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board, Imam Abdulrahman Ibrahim Idris, disclosed that all pilgrims from the state successfully performed their Hajj rites.

He, however, announced the death of one of the state officials, Shehu Yahaya Jalam, during the Hajj exercise, praying for Allah’s mercy upon his soul.
