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.
