NAHCON Cautions AHUON not Derail Hajj Preparations

NAHCON Cautions AHUON not Derail Hajj Preparations

The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has noted with concern the recent directive by the Association for Hajj and Umrah Operators in Nigeria (AHOUN) instructing their members to suspend participation in 2025 Hajj preparations.

While we acknowledge the issues raised regarding accumulated refunds, it is important to clarify that NAHCON has been in continuous communication with AHOUN on this matter and remains committed to addressing all legitimate concerns. The delay in resolving certain financial issues stems from the complexities of Hajj operations, which involve multiple stakeholders both locally and internationally, including Saudi authorities.

NAHCON wishes to reassure AHOUN and the general public that the Commission has no intention of downplaying or neglecting the issue of refunds. On 24th September 2024, NAHCON communicated with AHOUN regarding the urgency of aligning with the Saudi Hajj calendar to avoid disruptions in the 2025 Hajj preparations, a position we still maintain as critical.

Recently, the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah directed that only 20 lead companies would organize Hajj from Nigeria for ease of coordination and proper regulation. However, in good faith, NAHCON has agreed to mergers and consolidation to give all interested parties an opportunity to remain in business but with the interest of serving pilgrims satisfactorily in mind.

Thus, as regulators, NAHCON strongly believes that open dialogue and continued collaboration are the best ways to resolve these matters without causing unnecessary disruptions that could affect the pilgrims and operators alike. NAHCON remains open to further discussions with AHOUN to iron out any lingering concerns and work towards a swift resolution.

In the meantime, NAHCON advises AHOUN leadership and its members to allow ongoing arragements to yield the desired results without impeding the timely planning of the 2025 Hajj operations. This is in the best interest of all parties involved because with or without AHUON, Arafat will still hold on the stipulated date.

NAHCON’s doors are open for discussions.
