The lawmaker further listed other challenges faced by Nigerian pilgrims including lack of adequate tent accommodation at Mina and Arafat; substandard tents with unhealthy living conditions and environment; lack of proper medical attention to pilgrims in cases of emergency; lack of proper transportation, among others.
He argued that over 25,000 Nigerian pilgrims, including those who paid for Tent A VIP Class, “were stranded at Mina due to inadequate tents and oversubscription leaving Nigerian pilgrims sleeping on the roads, under bridges, and nearby mosques as alternatives.”
