FG Should Support Pilgrimages In Nigeria – Aminu Masari

Governor Aminu MasariThe Governor of Katsina State, Governor Aminu Masari has come out to beg the Federal Government of Nigeria to support pilgrimage and religious activities in Nigeria.

He recently revealed this when members of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC) paid him a courtesy visit in Katsina.

According to him, every Nigerian citizen has the right to consular services once they were out of the shores of the country, so the government should ensure the image of the country is protected.

He added that the Hajj Commission and NCPC were initiated by the House of Representatives, then the Senate agreed, before it finally got the approval of the President, therefore this is time to act.

His words, ”It is better for the Federal Government to help control and regulate pilgrimage activities to ensure that the image of the country is portrayed in a good light.”

“The Hajj Commission and NCPC were initiated by the House of Representatives, then the Senate agreed, and it finally got the approval of the President.”

“Over the years both Commissions have expanded and are doing well.”
