HSS Pilgrims: Kaduna, Other State Boards Undermining, Blackmailing us – NAHCON

HSS Pilgrims: Kaduna, Other State Boards Undermining, Blackmailing us – NAHCON

By Abdulrahman Abdulraheem, in Makkah

The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has expressed disappointment over report of alleged refusal to allocate slots to intending pilgrims who enrolled through the Hajj Saving Scheme (HSS) and have consequently faced inconveniences in certain states such as Kaduna, FCT, Gombe and Jigawa.

These states had attributed their actions to NAHCON/Jaiz Bank’s purported failure to timely remit the funds to the respective State Boards.

NAHCON in a statement by its Deputy Director in charge of Information and Publication, Mousa Ubandawaki, however denied the allegation describing it as baseless and unfounded.

“We categorically state that such excuses are baseless and unfounded. It is pertinent to clarify that Jaiz Bank promptly remitted the HSS fares to the states well in advance of this year’s Hajj. This was even before many state pilgrim boards remitted their payment.

“Secondly, in our numerous consultations with the officials of the States Pilgrims Welfare Boards/Agencies/Commissions it was resolved that the allocation to pilgrims should be in the ratio of 60/40 percent to pilgrims under State Boards and the Hajj Savings Scheme subscribers. So it is expected that the Kaduna State pilgrims welfare board should have reserved 40 percent which is 2000 of the allocation to the HSS .
Even at this, only 108 of the 2000 expected enrolled, via the HSS in Kaduna state out of the 6,255 allocated to them,” the statement read in part.

The statement accused some states of trying to undermine and blackmail the Commission, stressing that the individuals doing this would be brought to book in due course.

NAHCON urged the HSS intending pilgrims to exercise patience as their plight is being addressed by the Commission.

“What is playing out lately is that some states have been doing everything to consistently undermine the Commission and the Scheme in many ways. While the Commission has continued to show patience and understanding with them knowing that a new scheme or policy takes time before it bears positive fruits, unfortunately, this is not the case with some states who have continuously strove to defame and blackmail the Commission in their contempt for the board and some of its policies.

“Therefore, we want to emphasise that the information disseminated by the Kaduna State Pilgrims Board and some others is not only false but also malicious intended to vilify and blackmail the commission with a view to damage its integrity.

“We therefore want to first thank the numerous subscribers on the HSS for their faith and trust in the scheme and we appeal to those who have been unjustly denied the opportunity by the various pilgrims Board to remain calm and abide by the law as the commission is working hard to deal appropriately with the issue and also bring to book those who are bent on undermining our policies or involved in denying them the rights to participate in the religious rites of Hajj,” the statement concluded.
