The first batch of Nigeria Pilgrims from Kebbi and Nasarawa states performed Jummat Prayer in Madinah on Friday.
A cross-section of the intending pilgrims interviewed in Madinah expressed appreciation to the State and Federal Government for their efforts to ensure the successful take-off of the inaugural flight.
The first flight from Nigeria conveyed prospective pilgrims from Jega and Arewa Local Government Areas of Kebbi State and officials of the State Pilgrims Welfare Board.
A board member of the state pilgrims board, Alhaji Hussaini Argungu, explained that the cabin crew of the Saudi Arabian plane had hosted the entire passengers well by supplying them with food alongside other necessary things to make them feel comfortable while on air.
While commending the Saudi Airliners for its commitment towards a hitch-free journey, Argungu also appreciated the authorities of Saudi Arabia for organising a befitting welcome for the first set of intending pilgrims from Nigeria.
