The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) stands truly grateful to its numerous stakeholders, from within and abroad.
Outbound movement of pilgrims from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia would be winding up in a few hours time. It has been a 27 days marathon aboard 170 flights so far into Jeddah and Madinah airports conveying above 71,000 thousand Nigerian pilgrims and still counting., Air Peace, have all concluded conveyance of their allocated pilgrims to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia while Azman has one more flight to conclude.
At this juncture, the commission calls on any eligible pilgrim with valid travel documents that has not been contacted for the journey to approach the nearest pilgrims’ welfare agency for confirmation and subsequent dispatch to the Kingdom for the 2023 Hajj exercise. The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria stands truly grateful to its numerous stakeholders, from within and abroad, for their teamwork principles through which unforeseen challenges were jointly ebbed away.
Likewise, Zikrullah Hassan, the NAHCON chairman, on behalf of the commission’s management, congratulates successful Nigerian pilgrims and urges them to dedicate their time towards attaining the ultimate Hajj Mabrur. The chairman enjoined them to remain people of integrity and protect their honour while in the Holy land
On the other hand, Mr Hassan expresses deep pain, and empathises with all bona fide intending pilgrims who were unable to participate in this year’s Hajj for any reason. He is quick to remind them that Hajj is an answer to divine call that whoever is destined will answer at the due time. He therefore appealed to those affected to take the failure to participate as destiny, and to take solace in the fact that the Commission would address their situations accordingly.
