Governor Shettima once again thanked all members of the 2012 ameerul hajj team for their exceptional performance and called on the 2013 committee to work assiduously to surpass past records in line with ongoing policies and programmes of Government aimed at reinventing Borno State for the good of its citizens. The Governor said he has absolute confidence in the committee’s leaders and members and he is so sure, with no atom of doubt, that insha Allah, the 2013 Hajj Exercise will be record more glowing successes.
