The Yobe Ministry of Transport and Energy has completed institutional engagements with key aviation agencies for transporting pilgrims from the Muhammadu Buhari International Cargo Airport, Damaturu, to Saudi Arabia for the 2026 hajj.
Dr Mustapha Geidam, the ministry’s Permanent Secretary, disclosed this in a statement issued in Damaturu on Tuesday.
He said the engagements were completed with Tuesday’s signing of a Memorandum of Understanding by the state government and the Nigerian Meteorological Agency for full certification of MBICA.
Geidam said the state had earlier signed other memoranda with the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria and the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency.
