Amidst uncertainty on whether or not the 2020 Hajj exercise will hold, Nigerian pilgrims will know faith in the next two weeks.
Hassan, who featured on the network of Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria programme, HAJJ: A Spiritual Journey”, on Friday, expressed optimism that as soon as the coast is cleared from the Saudi end, the commission will announce its decision. The statement signed by the assistant director at the commission, Mousa Ubandawaki, the chairman expressed optimism that the opening of the two Holy mosques in Makkah and Madina could be a pointer to the hope that Hajj 2020 may take place.
“We depend on other variables. For instance even the Nigeria Airspace is closed for the next four weeks, which is also applicable in Saudi Arabia. Even if we want to fly now there’s no way we can do that unless the Airspace is opened”
