1.1 Background of the Study
Religious pilgrimage events are deeply rooted in spiritual traditions and are significant for fostering communal worship, spiritual growth, and cultural exchange. Sokoto North Local Government Area, being a hub of Islamic heritage in Nigeria, frequently hosts pilgrimage-related events that attract both local and international participants. These events, such as Maulud celebrations and preparatory gatherings for Hajj, require meticulous planning and coordination. According to Yusuf and Bala (2024), organizing such events involves logistical complexities, including transportation, accommodation, crowd management, and security. Despite their importance, these events face challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, funding constraints, and political interference, which can hinder their success. This study examines the challenges of organizing religious pilgrimage events in Sokoto North LGA, providing insights into potential solutions for improving their management.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Religious pilgrimage events in Sokoto North LGA are often plagued by organizational challenges that affect their smooth execution. Issues such as overcrowding, insufficient facilities, and inadequate security measures pose significant risks to participants. Additionally, the lack of professional event management practices and limited stakeholder collaboration exacerbate these challenges. While these events are vital for spiritual and cultural purposes, there is limited research on the specific challenges faced by organizers in Sokoto North LGA. This study aims to address this gap by exploring the difficulties and proposing strategies for effective organization.
