The Kebbi State government has advised its citizens intending to visit Saudi Arabia for the holy pilgrimage to be good ambassadors of the country.
The government stated this while disclosing that it had secured accommodation for 4,151 citizens of the state who would be observing the 2014 pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
Alhaji Abdullahi Shema, chairman of the Kebbi State Pilgrims Welfare Agency, explained that the accommodation was secured close to the Holy Mosque in order to avoid any hitch by those observing religious rites.
Shema urged the pilgrims to exhibit a high level of discipline.
He also stated that 20 per cent of those who could not perform the pilgrimage last year and had not collected the balance of their deposits would be given special consideration.
