Over 400 intending pilgrims, including state officials, were airlifted yesterday from Minna to the holy land as the first batch.

Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, who addressed the pilgrims, urged them to pray for peace and prosperity in the state and the country in general.

He also advised them to be good ambassadors of the state and the country while in the holy land, explaining that the state government had paid $200 per pilgrim for ram slaughtering (Hidiya)

While advising them to desist from spending extravagantly, Governor Bago also encouraged them to channel any challenge they might encounter to the State Amirul Hajj or the chairman of the Hajj Commission.
