The Sokoto State Pilgrims Welfare Agency (PWA) is set to temporarily relocate its operations to the NAHCON Hajj Transit Camp, Kasarawa, following the approval by the Sokoto State Government for the total renovation of the Agency’s headquarters.
In a statement signed by the Head of Info I Communication of my Agency, Faruku Umar, said Preparations for the relocation are already underway to enable the contractor commence renovation works without delay.
The temporary relocation is aimed at ensuring uninterrupted service delivery by the Agency, particularly as preparations for the 2026 Hajj season have already commenced.
The Chairman of the Agency, Alhaji Aliyu Musa , disclosed this development today during an inspection visit to the NAHCON Hajj Transit Camp, where minor renovation works are currently ongoing to prepare the offices for staff use.
According to him, the Agency resolved to rehabilitate and upgrade the existing structures at the transit camp to make the environment conducive and work-friendly for staff during the period of relocation.
Alhaji Aliyu Musa emphasized that the decision to relocate temporarily was taken in the best interest of the Agency and the intending pilgrims, assuring that all statutory responsibilities of the PWA would continue seamlessly during the renovation period.
He appealed for the understanding and cooperation of staff and stakeholders, noting that the renovation of the headquarters would ultimately enhance operational efficiency and service delivery.
