As the Saudi Government gradually lifts all Covid-19 restrictions on Hajj exercise, intending pilgrims in Nigeria are optimistic that the 2022 religious exercise will be a success.

Some Muslim faithfuls in Warri, Delta state, who express delight over this development are hoping that they can participate.

For two consecutive years, intending pilgrims in Nigeria have not been able to attend the annual hajj exercise at the holy cities of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia due to the covid 19 pandemic.
