She revealed that the committee had agreed with the caterers to make food available to the pilgrims for breakfast latest by 6.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m. to 6.00 p.m for dinner. “One of the responsibilities of the committee is supervision, and once we receive the food, it is handed over to each of the State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Boards for onward distribution to the pilgrims.”
“From the beginning, we started very well with the caterers. Though we have an approval of 10 caterers, but we cannot ask them to start delivering food to the pilgrims all at the same time. ”Unfortunately two days later, some of them started disappointing us by bringing the food late, which actually we didn’t take it likely with them.”
Responding, one of the caterers, Bilkisu Suleiman, the Managing Director, Zahra Mashair Kitchen, said that the company was engaged by NAHCON to feed 10,000 pilgrims of Zamfara, Sokoto, Jigawa and Lagos States.
