 Over 50,000 Nigerian Pilgrims to perform 2024 Hajj – NAHCON

The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) says no fewer than 50,000 Nigerian intending pilgrims will perform the 2024 hajj in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.


Executive Chairman of NAHCON, Mallam Jalal Arabi, disclosed this at a news conference held at Hajj House in Abuja.


Malam Arabi, however, told newsmen, that it was a significant milestone and a miracle that Nigerians could still be represented by a huge number despite the challenges caused by foreign exchange instability, reforms and the deadlines set by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.


He insisted that Nigerians should celebrate the milestone at a time many countries have officially informed Saudi authorities of their inability to fill their quotas.


“Against all odds, we will perform Hajj this year in a big way. We will go with massive numbers. We will beat some powerful countries. Some of them have thrown in the towel and asked for their quotas to be reduced.


“We must always work hard to remit monies on time to meet up with all the logistics and the deadlines set by Saudi Arabia authorities.


“We are not indicting anyone or group but people must do the right things on time for us to always be on the same page with the Arabian authorities.


Mallam Arabi said, going forward, Hajj Savings Scheme would be the surest method to adopt.


He pledged that the commission would embark on adequate sensitisation and enlightenment to ensure that intending pilgrims key into it.


The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah had allocated 95,000 Hajj slots to Nigeria for the 2024 pilgrimage.
