As I speak to you, however, some pilgrims have been led to their lodgings in Makkah, and we would like to let you know that we are on track.

“We are ready to help Allah’s guests so they can perform the Hajj Mabur,” he declared.

He claims that the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and service providers have been meeting with NAHCON on a regular basis.

These update sessions have been held even at the deputy ministerial level in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj.

And throughout the discussion, we went over our operations’ level, our past actions, and our future plans. It is simply to ensure that everything is done in order for the Hajj activities to be successful,” he stated.

The Nigerian embassy in Riyadh and the Nigerian Consulate-General in Jeddah are our primary hosts in the kingdom, and we would want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to them.

They have been incredibly helpful and wonderful. For the Hajj to be successful, they have been providing the commission with the required consular support,” he stated.

The NAHCON representative also praised the staff members’ cooperation and teamwork in delivering effective and efficient services to the pilgrims.

He claims that in order to guarantee the success of the Hajj activities, everyone is working nonstop.

We have the task of serving Allah’s guests in an efficient and effective manner.

In accordance with the terms of the contract signed with the service provider, it is also to guarantee that the pilgrims’ money is used for the services and that they are rendered appropriately.
