No pilgrim will miss 2025 Hajj over cancelled contract – NAHCON

The National Chairman of the National Hajj Commission (NAHCON), Professor Saleh Usman, has allayed fears over cancelled deals in Saudi Arabia and possible impact on intending pilgrims.

Instead, the NAHCON chairman reaffirmed that no single pilgrim duly registered for the 2025 pilgrimage would be left behind in Nigeria.

Responding to allegations by the Forum of States Pilgrim Welfare Agencies, who alleged that the cancelled contracts with a Saudi-based

Muaashir Companies might truncate the 2025 Hajj, Usman said the “allegations are not only frivolous but targeted at my hard-earned reputation as an Islamic Scholar.”

According to NAHCON chairman, “the contract with the Saudi Arabia-based Company was cancelled by the same Saudi Government and they later approved it and subsequently cancelled for the second time, so you can see that I have nothing to do with the cancellation.”

He said, “because of this up and down I’m right now in Saudi Arabia to ensure that what is right is been done, we are doing everything according to the dictate of the laws and honesty and I’m assuring that no Pilgrims will be missed this year Hajj.”

“Our preparation at the NAHCON has almost completed, we don’t have any problems and Inshallah we are going to achieve high-quality results.

“All those spreading lies against Us would see Us making achievements beyond their negative expectations, and we will make this year Hajj one of the best by the Will of Allah.”
