A section of Ghana’s Zongo community has called on President John Dramani Mahama to elevate the role of Tanko Abdul, the newly appointed Chairman of the Hajj Board by making him a sole commissioner.
Community leaders argue that granting the chairman full commissioner status would enhance operational authority and streamline decision-making, which they believe is necessary for the smooth running of Ghana’s Hajj affairs.
The community’s appeal underscores concern over past administrative bottlenecks, with hopes that the upgrade would help eliminate delays, enhance accountability, and improve pilgrims’ welfare.
