The Ag Chairman/CEO of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Alh. Jalal Arabi, has called on stakeholders to work as a team for a successful 2024 hajj exercise.
He made the call during his visit to notable Islamic leaders and Clerics as part of the commission’s efforts to achieve success during the 2024 Hajj.
In a statement signed by the Deputy Director of Information/Publication, Mousa Ubandawaki, it said “the success of Hajj is a collective responsibility and therefore every stakeholder in the Hajj industry needs to be carried along to work together as a team in achieving success”.
He stated that the role of Islamic leaders cannot be emphasized as they play a very significant and critical role in the success or otherwise of Hajj in the Country.
He therefore solicited their support and cooperation in realizing the objective of Hajj for Nigerian pilgrims.
“Success can only be achieved through consultations and teamwork”, he said.
Arabi however promised to engage and consult stakeholders in the industry in achieving success of the 2024 hajj exercise.
As part of the Consultative drive, the Chairman visited the Spiritual leaders of the Qadriyyah sect, Maulana Sheikh Qaribullahi Nasiru Kabara in Kano, Maulana Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi, the spiritual leader of Tijaniyya group, the leader of JIBWIS, Dr. Abdullahi Bala Lau and Sheikh Muhammadu Sani Yahaya Jingir (JIBWIS) in Abuja and Headquarters in Jos respectively.
