The Chairman of Edo State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board, Mallam Musah Muhammad Uduimoh has taken the 2025 Hajj sensitization outreach to Imiegba in North Ibie, Etsako East Local Government Area.
On Friday, February 6, 2025, Chairman Uduimoh visited the palace of the Oghieaga of Three Ibvie, Mallam Ali Suleman, after observing Jummah prayers with the community in imiegba.
Addressing the Oghieaga, Chairman Uduimoh explained the purpose of his visit. "The purpose of my visit is to pay homage to your Highness and to further enhance sensitization of the 2025 Hajj to your people in North Ibie. We were in Okpella not too long ago. It is our desire to take Hajj sensitization to all the nooks and crannies of Edo State. We desire to reach out to those who have never been reached. We desire to give the best services which have never been given," he stated.
Uduimoh emphasized the crucial role traditional rulers play in disseminating information within their communities.
"We believe that those of you among the traditional rulers who are Muslims can help us spread the message more. The payment deadline has been extended till February 17, 2025. Help us talk to your people who usually sponsor others to take advantage of this extension," he urged.
The Oghieaga of Three Ibvie, Mallam Ali Suleman, warmly welcomed the Chairman. He offered prayers for the continued success of the current administration in Edo State, the leadership of the Pilgrims Welfare Board, and the peace and progress of the state as a whole.
