The Federal Capital Territory Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board (FCT-MPWB) has reaffirmed its determination to ensure security of its intending pilgrims during the Hajj operations.
Director of the Board, Mallam Muhammad Nasiu Danmallam, gave the assurance when he received a delegation of the Joint Islamic Aids Organisation from the FCT in his office.
Mallam Danmallam said the Board would continue to initiate new strategies on how to secure the lives and properties of its intending Pilgrims especially during camping and other activities.
The director described JIFAG as fundamental ally in successes recorded in the Hajj exercises and pledged to strive to continue with the existing cordial relationship between the various security outfits, non-governmental organisations and other stakeholders in the services of humanity, particularly FCT contingents to Saudi Arabia.
He said the roles played by the Islamic first aid groups in the FCT had greatly assisted in the successful Hajj operations and appreciated their doggedness in ensuring that activities of the Board stand the test of time.
He called the group to continue with their voluntary services to the Muslim community in the spirit of teaching of Islamic Religion.
Earlier, the chairman of the FCT Joint Islamic First Aid Organisation, Alhaji Ahmad Jingi Adamu, said the visit was to appreciate the support of the Board to the activities of the organisation.
