Lalong promises conducive environment for Muslim Pilgrims Board

The Plateau State governor, Simon Lalong, says he will provide an enabling environment for the Muslim Pilgrims Board, urging adherents to key into the laudable initiative of Hajj Savings Scheme (HSS) to enable them to plan for easy pilgrimage.

The governor said this during this year’s flag-off of the Hajj Saving Scheme held at the Jos Central Mosque.
