UPDATE: Kaduna Leads with 4,493 as NAHCON Clears 51,447 Pilgrims for 2024 Hajj

After close of registration, the official number of intending pilgrims that registered for the 2024 Hajj from Nigeria stands at 51,447 under the government quota.

Commendably, The Bola Ahmed Tinubu led government played a leading role in the realization of this noble objective. The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) recognize the numerous sacrifices that Federal Government made against all odds towards easing the constrains off its intending pilgrims.

The Commission also commends the patience exhibited by the pilgrims that were caught up in the uncertainties. The concern demonstrated by the Ulamas over the pilgrims’ predicament did not go unnoticed by the Commission. Several stakeholders, including State Governors, rendered solutions out of the gridlock.

Some media houses showed tremendous understanding of the constraints which literarily exposed the reality of the quaqmire the 2024 Hajj was confronting.

Indeed, 2024 Hajj preparations came with unexpected challenges from which lessons have been learnt.

NAHCON has always known that long term planning has been the workable strategy that would have subdued the challenges that slowed down the year’s Hajj preparations.
