Why I Visited Islamic Clerics – NAHCON Boss
The Acting Chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Alhaji Jalal Ahmad Arabi, has explained that his visits to notable Islamic leaders and clerics was part of the consultative drive to strengthen the effort of the Commission to achieve success during the 2024 Hajj.
According to him, 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.
The NAHCON boss explained, in a statement by the Commission’s Deputy Director in charge of Information and Publication, Mousa Ubandawaki, that the role of Islamic leaders cannot be ignored as they play very significant and critical role in the success or otherwise of Hajj.
