Hadiza, who gives out her excess food to one of the Journalists staying in the same hotel with her, said, “this is too much for me”,

Salisu  Abdullahi, a Student University of Medina said he was contracted by officials of NAHCON to share food to various houses of Nigerian Pilgrims.

He said, ” you can see that because of the availability of the food we are given two plates to each Pilgrim and most of them are telling us they are so grateful to NAHCON “.
