The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has begun the fumigation of the FCT Hajj Camp in Bassan-Jiwa, near the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
This is ahead of the camping of intending pilgrims for the 2025 hajj exercise.
Accordingly, the fumigation exercise is being carried out at the FCT Hajj Transit Camp, Bassan Jiwa, by the officials of the Port Health Services of the Federal Ministry of Health.
The Director of the FCT Pilgrims Welfare Board, Kadiri Edah, assured that the FCT Administration would continue to prioritise the health, safety and wellbeing of pilgrims by maintaining high standards of facilities both here and abroad.
Abuja Metro reports that pilgrims from the FCT, Niger and Nasarawa states are expected to make use of the camp.
