“I wish to inform you that we have also structured the board into five departments and eight zonal offices across the state for the purpose of registration and convenience of the intending pilgrims.

“Recently, the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), inspected our facilities at the board’s headquarters and it was satisfied with the arrangement in place.
