The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) announced a minor shake-up in its workforce following the resolution of its Board at its 14th sitting held between 26th and 27th August 2025.
Hence, inline with the Board’s resolve, the Commission’s executive arm has effected the reposting of pool officers back to their respective Ministries, Departments and Agencies with immediate effect. Accordingly, the affected officers were issued with letters on Thursday 4th September, 2025.
The Board’s decision was taken primarily to eliminate redundancy and reposition the Commission for enhanced effective and efficient service delivery. This step was also taken to motivate staff towards higher performance.
To support the ongoing reforms, the Board approved the promotion of some deserving officers. It also approved Capacity Building Programs for the entire staff aimed at equipping employees with requisite skills to achieve the organizational objectives of the Commission.
Professor Abdullahi Saleh Usman has assured that the 5th Board would do everything necessary to build an effective and resilient workforce dedicated to fulfilling NAHCON’s statutory responsibilities in the service of Nigerian pilgrims. Similarly, NAHCON will continue to introduce other reforms for enhanced productivity.
