Lagos pilgrims received their luggage at the weekend. Pilgrims came to the Lagos House 1, Makkah, to collect their luggage.
Amirul Hajj Dr AbdulHakeem Abdul Lateef, had announced that luggage would be distributed on Saturday.
He told pilgrims the National Hajj Commission (NAHCON) had notified state boards their luggage were ready.
He urged the pilgrims to ensure their luggage do not exceed 32 kilogrammes.
Lagos has started a sensitisation workshop ahead of the five-day hajj rites. The elderly are to get special treatment during the rites.
Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee of State Muslims Pilgrims Welfare Board Alhaji Ahmed Jebe said the committee would create comfortable conditions for pilgrims.
He urged pilgrims to prepare to be humbled by the diversity of people they come across in the journey, asking them to be patient in dealing with everyone.
Jebe said the satisfaction lies in completion of the tasks and using the lessons learnt to make the post-hajj life fruitful.
The chairman called on pilgrims to dedicate their time to hajj rites and distance themselves from distractions.
