In preparation for the 2024 Hajj pilgrimage, the Ogun State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board has announced plans to conduct a comprehensive two-day medical examination for intending pilgrims from March 5th to 7th.
The Executive Secretary of the Board, Alhaji Salau Dauda, affirmed this initiative in a statement released to the press in Abeokuta on Saturday.
The medical tests are scheduled to take place at the Board’s Office, located at New Secretariat Block ‘B’ Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta. Dauda emphasized the importance of intending pilgrims availing themselves of these crucial medical assessments.
The primary objective of these tests is to evaluate the health status of each pilgrim, ensuring they receive necessary medical guidance and recommendations before embarking on the sacred journey to Mecca and Medina.
“It is imperative for all intending pilgrims to undergo this medical assessment, alongside attending the scheduled sensitization and enlightenment programs set for Saturday, March 9th, commencing at 9:30 a.m. at the board’s premises,” Dauda emphasized.
Participation in these medical examinations is mandatory for eligible pilgrims and is considered an integral aspect of the pilgrimage process.
With meticulous planning and attention to pilgrims’ health and well-being, the Ogun State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board is committed to facilitating a safe and spiritually enriching Hajj experience for all participants in the upcoming pilgrimage.
