 “Feeding, Flights, Faith: Kebbi’s Triple Win in Hajj Operations”  
Pilgrims praise the state’s attention to every detail.



The Northwest Progressives Forum (NPF) has declared Kebbi State a national model in Hajj administration, praising Governor Nasir Idris and Alhaji Faruk Enabo, Chairman of the State Pilgrims Welfare Agency for their transformative leadership and commitment to pilgrims’ welfare.

Following Kebbi’s exceptional performance during the 2024 and 2025 Hajj exercises—where the state earned eight awards from Saudi authorities—the NPF described the operations as “a masterclass in religious service delivery.” These accolades recognized Kebbi’s outstanding arrangements in areas such as sacrificial animal logistics (Hadaya), feeding, accommodation, transportation, and airport screening.

*Leadership Rooted in Empathy and Action*

Governor Idris’s personal involvement in the pilgrimage and his financial support to all 3,871 pilgrims in the 2025 Hajj exercise like in the previous, drew admiration from the Forum. Speaking recently, the governor pledged;

> “We will continue to render the needed support to our Pilgrims Welfare Agency and NAHCON in this direction and we will never relent”.

*Operational Excellence Under Alhaji Faruk Enabo*

Alhaji Faruk Enabo, Chairman of the Pilgrims Welfare Agency, was credited with orchestrating Kebbi’s seamless Hajj logistics. He emphasized that Governor Idris’s unwavering backing was the cornerstone of their success:

> “The unwavering support of Gov. Idris to the agency had culminated not only in the tremendous success of the Hajj operations in the state but the state stood tall amongst its peers”.

NPF’s Endorsement

In its official statement, the Northwest Progressives Forum declared:

> “Kebbi State has set a new benchmark for Hajj administration in Nigeria. Governor Nasir Idris and Alhaji Faruk Enabo have demonstrated that with vision, empathy, and accountability, even the most complex religious operations can be executed with excellence.”

 *A Blueprint for the Nation*

The Forum urged other states to emulate Kebbi’s model, especially in areas of early planning, financial transparency, and direct engagement with pilgrims. With the 2025 Hajj season on the horizon, Kebbi’s example stands as a beacon of what’s possible when leadership meets purpose.

THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT OF THE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE FOR EFFECTIVE JUSTICE DELIVERY

THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT OF THE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE FOR EFFECTIVE JUSTICE DELIVERY By Hamza Nuhu Dantani, Esq. Constitutional Lawyer and Rights Activist. Every day across Nigeria, police officers risk their lives to arrest armed robbers, murderers, kidnappers, rapists, and violent criminals. Yet, time and again, these same criminals walk free, not because they are innocent, but because the system fails at a time it matters most: the courtroom. At the heart of this systemic failure lies a silent crisis—the grossly neglected legal department of the Nigeria Police Force. Understaffed, underfunded, and overwhelmed, this vital arm of law enforcement is struggling to prosecute crimes, defend civil suits, or even appear in court. The consequences are grave: lost cases, emboldened criminals, and a justice system that increasingly serves the powerful while frustrating victims and ordinary citizens. This is not just a capacity problem; it threatens public safety, ...
