The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has signed an amended contract with Mashariq Al Dhabia, a Saudi-based company, to provide services for Nigerian pilgrims during the 2025 Hajj operations.
According to NAHCON Chairman/CEO, Prof Abdullahi Saleh Usman, the amendment was necessary to clarify grey areas in the original contract and ensure a smooth and successful Hajj operation.
“The commission and the company have only one goal, to serve Nigerian pilgrims excellently,” Prof Usman emphasized.
Prof Usman reassured intending pilgrims that NAHCON has completed arrangements for the 2025 Hajj operations and debunked rumors of contract cancellation.
“Anything outside this is not known to the commission. The commission has not cancelled any contract with any company,” he stated.
