Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has appointed the Etsu Tsaragi, Alhaji Aliyu Abdullahi Kpotwa Goshi II, as the leader of the state’s contingent (Ameerul-Hajj) to the 2026 pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
The Ameerul-Hajj will lead pilgrims from the state to the holy land, coordinating with relevant authorities to ensure that the welfare of Kwara pilgrims is taken care of.
Preliminary activities for the 2026 Hajj have since commenced, but the Hajj rituals itself are slated for the last week of May 2026 (Dhul-Hijjah 1447AH).
