This has been on my mind for sometime now and I think it is important to bring it to the front page. Why should the government be subsidizing pilgrimage for those who wish to perform pilgrimage? What happens to those who are not religious? Also considering the fact that Nigeria constitutionally is a secular state. Is this not a way of depriving some people from the resources of the country while others are benefiting. Is it not time to scrape this Policy? And of what use is the pilgrimage to the development of the country? The pilgrims boards have also in the past involved in criminalities by selling slots to favoured and higher bidders, you know what I mean! Religion is a personal adventure and anybody willing to embark on pilgrimage should be able to pay for it not using the state resources for such an adventure. I strongly call on well meaning Nigerians to call on the government to stop this jamboree and modern slavery of pilgrimage as it has no developmental purpose for the country.
