Chairman, of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Senator Abubakar Adamu Bulkachuwa has assured Nigerians of hitch-free exercise in the 2023 pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.
Muslim worshippers perform prayers around the Kaaba, Islam’s holiest shrine, at the Grand Mosque in Saudi Arabia’s holy city of Mecca on August 15, 2018, prior to the start of the annual Hajj pilgrimage in the holy city. The hajj, expected to draw more than two million pilgrims to Mecca this year, represents a key rite of passage for Muslims and a massive logistical challenge for Saudi authorities, with colossal crowds cramming into relatively small holy sites.
On the part of the National assembly, the Senate Committee Chairman, Foreign Affairs pledged continued legislative support to NAHCON for remarkable management. “We are happy for the return of our allocation. At the same time, it is a moral burden for us to justify the allocation through an efficient management system and improved service to our pilgrims. Therefore, we need to work as a team to achieve these goals. We have to stick together to go through the process.”
A statement released by Mousa Ubandawaki, Assistant Director of Information and Publications at NAHCON, said the screening process led by Dr Bala Mohammad of the Mass Communication department, Bayero University, Kano has over 100 applicants seeking to provide accommodation and catering services in Makkah and Medina.
