He also acknowledged the unwavering support from the State Governor, Malam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, CON, which contributed to the smoothness of the entire process.
Amirul-Hajj also recognized the cooperation of the Mashood-Jimba-led Kwara State Pilgrims Welfare Board and the officials from NAHCON and other aviation agencies in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia.
On his part, Prof. Mashood Mahmud Jimba, the Chairman of the State Pilgrims Board, expressed appreciation to the State Governor for selecting Sen. Oloriegbe as the Amirul-Hajj, lauding the former lawmaker’s outstanding leadership as a significant asset for the State Board in facilitating the pilgrims’ operations.
