Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde has said his administration will continue to support the Oyo State Muslim Pilgrimage Board in its bid to have hitch-free Hajj exercises in the state.

The governor, while receiving the 2022 Hajj reports from the chairman of Muslim Pilgrimage Board, Prof. Sayed Malik, at the Presidential Lodge of the Government House, Agodi, Ibadan, admonished the board to double up its efforts by ensuring that the standard is maintained.

The governor called on the board to constantly engage the pilgrims, saying that regular and early preparations are quite important for a hitch free pilgrimage.

He, therefore, pledged to complete the projects abandoned by the previous administration at the Hajj Camp, Olodo, Ibadan, saying “We want to say thank you to the Board. We know the challenges you faced before, during and after the pilgrimage.

“Some of them, as you said, are not peculiar to Oyo State. But what I will say is, for us, we don’t make excuses and we don’t say that because something is happening in another state, it should happen here. No. We are proactive and we try to see our things through.

“So, I will advise the board members to double up their efforts to ensure that the standard is maintained and that we start early. If I take the issue of the Basic Travel Allowance as an example, it is something that we should have handled a lot better if those who are supposed to be on top of the situation are actually there.

“On social media, I noticed that some of the pilgrims were castigating Oyo State, saying they were the only ones suffering in Saudi Arabia. I think they also must have learned one thing or the other.

“As a government, we cannot be blackmailed because we stand up to our responsibilities and take them seriously. It is not as if we are sloppy. But if we have a forex issue in the country, what can we do? We have to activate alternative plans, which may not bring immediate comfort to the people.

“But the fact that they are not being left alone and the officials saddled with the responsibilities of dealing with such issues have that engagement with them. We also have one or two things to learn from that episode. Engagement is key.’’

Earlier, the state chairman of the Pilgrims’ Welfare Board (Muslim Wing), Prof. Malik, recounted various challenges encountered before, during and after the 2022 Hajj operation, and appreciated Governor Makinde for his moral and financial support towards the board.
