National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has lauded the cooperation of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) for the 2023 Hajj following the smooth conclusion of the signing of memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the ritual exercise.
The chairman of the commission, Alhaji Zikrullah Kunle Hassan, made the commendation in his appreciation letter after a successful MoU event, saying the early signing of the deals with the authorities and their approval is a fundamental prelude to the success of the 2023 pilgrimage.
He commended His Majesty and Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud; and the Crown Prince who doubles as prime minister of Saudi Arabia, Muhammad Bin Salman Al Saud, for facilitating early preparations for the 2023 Hajj.
“The Muslim world no doubt appreciates the Kingdom for the huge sacrifices it offers in making pilgrims comfortable during Hajj and Umrah, in terms of resources and manpower.
“Truly, Nigeria had over the years enjoyed a mutual working relationship and support from the KSA, we in the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) bear witness to this with the exemplary cordial reception accorded to the Nigerian team by the stakeholders of the Hajj and Umrah industry in the kingdom. Their commitment and understanding accelerated signing of favourable deals on behalf of the Nigerian pilgrims for the 2023 Hajj,” Hassan said.
