Kwara Stops Sponsorship of Pilgrimage

Date: 2015-07-12

The Kwara State Government has stopped the sponsorship of both Christian and Muslim pilgrimages.

This was confirmed to Saturday PUNCH in separate interviews with the Senior Special Assistant to the Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, on Media and Communication, Dr. Muyideen Akorede; the Executive Secretary, Muslim Pilgrims Board, Hajia Fatimoh Jimoh and the Chairman, Kwara State Christian Pilgrims Board, Bishop Israel Amoo.

Akorede said the state government stopped the sponsorship of pilgrimages because of the dwindling revenue as a result of the fall in federal revenue allocations.

Akorede said, “It is needful for the state government to stop the sponsorship of pilgrimages because of the prevailing economic situation. If this is one of the sacrifices we have to make, I think the residents are willing to make it. Religion is a personal thing.”
