According to Premium Times, the Chairman of the Edo Muslim Pilgrim Welfare Board, Musah Muhammad-Uduimoh, said the Presidency in Saudi Arabia made the announcement for the Religious Affairs of the two Holy Mosques on Saturday, May 31, 2025.
Muhammad-Uduimoh said it is a “landmark gesture of religious inclusivity” that will allow Nigerian pilgrims to better understand the profound message of the Khutbah Arafah (Arafat Sermon), delivered on the sacred plains of Mount Arafat.


He argued that when people hear the sermon in a language they understand, the spiritual message would become clearer, more personal, and transformative.
