Alhaja Kaosarah Adeyi, Senior Special Assistant on Youth Engagement to Kwara State Governor has been basking in the euphoria of performing the 2022 Hajj, which she described as “one of her greatest dreams”.
Adeyi is one of the fifty pilgrims that made the 2022 ‘Emergency’ Hajj exercise with Hajj Mabrur, a leading private tour operator in Lagos, Southwest, Nigeria
The governor’s aide while speaking with Muslim News further revealed that the 3-week experience was a life-transforming spiritual experience which unlocked a new level of spirituality and feeling of newness in her.
She added that the highlight of her experience as a pilgrim from Nigeria was having the opportunity to give more gratitude to the Almighty for his mercies and grace that she had enjoined in the last 25 years of her life.

She told Muslim News that the story of her journey for the holy pilgrimage started during a conversation with her husband, Mal. Abdul Hafeez Oyedepo.
According to her, “It was just during a random conversation with my hubby that I mentioned my wish to perform the fifth pillar of Islam, Hajj. Before I knew it, he had put a call through to Hajj Mabrur to make findings on the registration process.
“This has always been one of my greatest dreams in life and I am most grateful to Almighty Allah, my darling husband and Hajj Mabrur Ventures Ltd. for making it come through.
