The Kano State Government has set up a medical clinic in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, to ensure adequate healthcare for its pilgrims. This initiative, disclosed by Ibrahim Shuaibu, the Head of the Media Team for Kano State Pilgrims and spokesperson for the Deputy Governor, aims to complement the efforts of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON).
The clinic is intended to provide necessary medical attention to Kano State’s pilgrims during their stay. The State Amirul Hajj and Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Gwarzo, is scheduled to visit the clinic upon his arrival from Madinah to evaluate the commitment and effectiveness of the state pilgrim board in supporting the pilgrims.
