Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, has strengthened preparations for the 2026 Hajj exercise with the donation of a 38-seater hybrid Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) bus, equipped with 30 strap-hangers, to the Kaduna State Pilgrims Welfare Agency.
With a total capacity of 68 passengers per trip, the bus is expected to improve transportation logistics for intending pilgrims by enhancing efficiency, safety, and comfort during the Hajj airlift operations.
The initiative reflects Governor Uba Sani’s continued commitment to the welfare of Kaduna pilgrims and his administration’s resolve to provide strong operational support for a seamless Hajj exercise.
This follows earlier upgrades at the Agency’s Hajj Camp in Mando, including the construction of a tarred access road and facility improvements designed to provide pilgrims with greater comfort before departure.
Presenting the bus on behalf of the Kaduna State Government, Director of Operations, Kaduna Line, Malam Muhammad Sagir, described the gesture as another example of Governor Uba Sani’s people-focused leadership and commitment to excellence in service delivery.
Receiving the vehicle on behalf of the Executive Chairman of the Agency, Director of Operations, Malam Abubakar Usman Yusuf, expressed appreciation to the Kaduna State Government, describing the intervention as timely and impactful in strengthening the Agency’s operational capacity.
He also commended the Governor’s adoption of CNG-powered transportation solutions, noting that the initiative aligns with global best practices in sustainability and efficient public service delivery.
The Kaduna State Pilgrims Welfare Agency reaffirmed its readiness to deliver safe, efficient, and quality services to all intending pilgrims ahead of the 2026 Hajj exercise.
