During the visit, Akinbile-Yussuf met with officials of the Commission, including its Ag. Chairman, Barr. Muhammad Mukhtar, saying the tour was to acquaint herself with the operations of NAHCON as well as discuss ways of improving Hajj activities in Nigeria.
The meeting deliberated on a wide range of issues relating to the Hajj exercise including medical screening, accommodation, media and publicity as well as ways of further strengthening pilgrimage processes in Nigeria.
