Adeleke Assures Osun Muslim Pilgrims Of Smooth Hajj Operations

Osun State Governor, Senator Nurudeen Ademola Jackson Adeleke has assured Muslim pilgrims from the state of government commitment to ensuring smooth hajj operations.

At the sod-turning ceremony of Osun State Hajj Camp in Osogbo, Adeleke assured intending pilgrims from the State of necessary support for the exercise.

The governor said the aim of building the hajj camp is to alleviate the suffering experienced by Osun Muslim pilgrims every year as a result of lack of hajj camp.

Governor Adeleke assured Muslims in the state that the project would be completed without delay.

The Osun State Muslim Community and the League of Imam and Alfas in the state expressed gratitude to the Governor for the Hajj camp project.

The President of OSMC, Alhaji Mustafa Olawuyi in a press statement made available to journalists by OSMC Public Relations Officer, Prince Hameed Oyegbade noted that successive administrations in the state could not build the ajj camp since the creation of Osun State and expressed gratitude to Adeleke for the project.

According to him "We are truly happy about this event. Since the inception or this state, we have been agitating for Hajj camp. The successive government did not answer us. But this Government of Governor Adeleke has done it for us and it has now become a reality that we are going to have a befitting hajj camp in Osun State. We are grateful to the Governor. May Allah bless him more."

The Muslim community also commended the Chairman of Osun State Muslim Pilgrims' Welfare Board, Dr Morufu Olawale-Isola his efforts in making sure that pilgrims from the state perform their hajj rites perfectly in Saudi without any hindrance.

OSMC therefore passed a vote if confidence in the Chairman of Osun State Muslim Pilgrims' Welfare Board, Dr Morufu Olawale-Isola and pledged support for the administration of Governor Adeleke.
