Saudi Arabia

The Chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, NAHCON, Mallam Jalal Arabi, has disclosed plans by the Commission to reduce the number of days to be spent by Nigerian pilgrims in Saudi Arabia during the Hajj season.

Speaking to journalists shortly after he arrived at the Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz International Airport, Madinah, he frowned at the situation in the past whereby Nigerians would be seen loitering about in the Holy Land while their counterparts from other countries would have been evacuated back home.

'At least those in our cluster and we hope the tour operators too will be able to beat the target as well. 'Of course, that was able to be achieved through the cooperation and collaboration of all stakeholders, both the public and the private sector.' He commended the Presidency and the National Assembly as well as air carriers for their tremendous support towards the success of the ongoing Hajj operations.
