In a comprehensive effort to ensure the health and safety of all intending pilgrims, Edo State has embarked on a series of inoculation exercises across the three senatorial districts. Today, the focus was on the Edo South Senatorial District, with similar events scheduled for Edo North on Saturday May 4 and Sunday May 5, 2024.
Under the leadership of Sheikh Ibrahim Oyarekhua, the Edo State Muslim Pilgrim Welfare Board spearheaded the vaccination drive at its headquarters in Benin City. The event saw the administration of essential vaccines including meningitis, OPV, and yellow fever, preparing pilgrims for their forthcoming journey to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj pilgrimage.
