MAKKAH — The center for licensing and training workers who serve pilgrims and Umrah performers at the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah conducted a training course for 80 heads of pilgrim groups in Nigeria in preparing to perform Hajj this year.

The training program was attended by Director of the center Eng. Eyad Mohammed Fadul, Head of Training Department at the Hajj Establishment for Non-Arab Africans Mohammed Shukri Zamzami, a team of Saudi trainers and a team from the Pilgrims Affairs Office of Nigeria.
