NAHCON Boss Blames Saudi Firm for Shortage of Tents, Food in Mina

By Abdulrahman Abdulraheem, in Mina

The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has expressed dissatisfaction over the inadequate tents and food made available for Nigerian pilgrims who are presently in Mina.

The Chairman of the Commission, Alhaji Zikrullah Kunle Hassan, who fielded questions from journalists in Mina on Monday night lamented that the meals were inadequate and were served late to the pilgrims.

He blamed the Company of Mutawifs for Pilgrims from African Nob Arab Countries which is the firm contracted to do the job, for the lapses that have caused the shortages.

He said NAHCON envisaged the problems and therefore suggested that they are involved, but the Saudi firm insisted they had a mega kitchen, the know-how and about three alternate plans to deliver to the satisfaction of all.

The Chairman stated that his Commission had already notified the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah over the plight of Nigerians, adding that a meeting will be held later on Monday night to address the issues.

He said NAHCON would insist and press for a serious, meaningful and satisfactory improvement within the shortest possible time, so that Nigerian pilgrims would conclude their Hajj rituals in peace.

The Chairman called on Nigerian pilgrims to be calm and patient, adding that the situation will be brought under control soon.
