The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), has reiterated its commitment to transport all pilgrims that registered for the 2023 Hajj within the season’s time frame.
The commission’s Assistant Director, Public Affairs, Mrs Fatima Usara, gave the assurance in a statement on Sunday.
She advised prospective pilgrims in Lagos, currently agitating, to calm down and await their transportation to Saudi Arabia.
Usara said that the commission understands the reason for their agitation, but reassured of a strategic plan to move every intending pilgrim on ground before closure of Jeddah airport.
She said that the information reaching the commission from the Private Tour Operators’ sector, especially from the Lagos axis, calls for concern.
