The Chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Professor Usman Saleh, has praised the dedication and hard work of all stakeholders involved in the successful 2025 Hajj operations.
Speaking during the post-Arafat meeting held in Makkah, Professor Saleh expressed deep gratitude to staff, volunteers, medical teams, the ulama, media personnel, private sector partners, and other contributors who worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth pilgrimage.
He announced that the return journey of Nigerian pilgrims would commence on June 13, 2025, and is expected to be completed within three weeks. Professor Saleh called for continued support and cooperation to ensure a smooth return process.
“As earlier promised, NAHCON remains committed to supporting each community member with token allowances, not as a reward, but as a small gesture of appreciation for your service to our pilgrims and to the nation,” he said.
The chairman also encouraged stakeholders to submit reports and suggestions to help improve future Hajj operations, praying for Almighty Allah’s blessings on all participants.
