The gesture was announced in Makkah by the Emir of Karaye, Alhaji Muhammad Maharaz Karaye, who also serves as the head of the Kano Hajj Delegation Committee. He conveyed the governor’s message while addressing the pilgrims at Shari Mansur Kano House No. 1.
The Emir said the financial support was meant to ease the pilgrims’ stay in the Holy Land during the Sallah period and to show the state government’s continued concern for their well-being. He urged the pilgrims to pray for lasting peace and development in Kano and Nigeria.
Also speaking, the Secretary of the Committee and Director General of the Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board, Alhaji Lamin Rabi’u Danbappa, said the distribution was done fairly, ensuring every pilgrim received their share. He added that each pilgrim would also be given a large travel bag to aid their return journey.
