The former ANPP-led administration in Kano State expended N10.6 billion in sponsoring individuals to Saudi Arabia for the annual pilgrimage, Daily Trust learnt at the Cabinet Office in Kano yesterday. An impeccable source at the office said Governor Rabi'u Musa Kwankwaso, who was staggered by the discovery, decided that his government will not sponsor anybody to the hajj except those who will render essential services to pilgrims in the holy land.

Spending N10.6bn on hajj is so such for a religious feet, when there are so many poor people in Kano state who needs the basic things in life (food, cloth and shelter).
