He expressed the appreciation while addressing the last set of Nigerian pilgrims at the King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, before their departure to Nigeria on Monday.

He acknowledged the assistance of the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, and Vice President, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, to the successful organisation of the 2023 Hajj exercise, stressing that for the intervention of the Vice President, which enabled the commission to transfer its trapped funds to Saudi Arabia and also persuade the General Authority on Civil Aviation (GACA) to allocate more slots to Nigerian Airlines.

“I want to sincerely express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the Nigerian Government, especially, the President and Vice President for their timely intervention and support all through this operations. Their invaluable support really contributed in no mean term to achieve today’s success story,” he said.

According to the NAHCON in a statement by its deputy director of information and publication, Alhaji Mousa Ubandanwaki, the Monday’s airlift marked the conclusion of the in-bound flight of Nigerian pilgrims with the final airlift of 298 Kaduna pilgrims, one Bauchi State pilgrim and 16 officials by Azman Airlines coming four days ahead of the original date of August 3 slated for the completion of home-bound operation.

The second phase of the airlift operation which began on July 4, 2023 after the completion of the Hajj rites with the airlift of Sokoto State pilgrims by Flynas was a rollercoaster of challenges and emotions, which was amplified by the non-provision of slots to the Nigerian Carriers by the Saudi’s General Authority on Civil Aviation (GACA).

But after the resolution of the impasse following the intervention of the Nigerian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, it has been a smooth-sailing.

Recall that August 3 was initially fixed as the final day of operation but the injection of additional aircraft by Max Air and Flynas had helped to ease the tension and increase the tempo of the operation.

The operation of the 183rd shuttle flight brought to an end the 2023 Hajj operations.
