dc.description.abstractThis study addressed the stereotype conceptions and generalisation on the activities of National Pilgrims Body which neglect the role played by States Pilgrims Welfare Boards/Agencies with the particular reference to the management of Hajj operation in Kaduna state 1968-2000. The study examines the various processes and fundamental changes witnessed in the sphere of Hajj operations by government at state level. The management of Hajj operations which came about as a consequence of the introduction of modern means of transportation and the increased number of the intending pilgrim population made it difficult for the government to ignore its existence. The study traced the evolution of the management of Hajj operations in Kaduna State and the reasons behind the states involvement in Hajj affairs. These would give us a clear picture on the impact and challenge the State Pilgrims Welfare Board (a body responsible for the management of Hajj operations) faced towards the end of the twentieth century. Primary data for the study were collected through structured interviews with Islamic scholars, Pilgrims Welfare Board officials and selected people who had performed the Hajj. Primary data were also collected through structured interviews from policy makers and stakeholders, and Hajj reports mainly from the archives. This data was complemented with data from books, journal articles and newspaper editorials on Hajj operations. The study finds that as a result of government involvement in the management of Hajj operations, Pilgrim Welfare Officers were recruited and posted to Local Government Areas to oversee the pilgrims and Hajj affairs, pilgrim uniforms and bags were introduced and Pilgrims Handbook were produced. There was also the construction of Hajj Transit Camp at Mando and the Kaduna International Airport to be use by pilgrims. These changes indeed show that the introduction of modern administrative changes into the affairs of Hajj has transformed the performance of Hajj into a state institutionalised body with all the government support.
