MUSWEN urges NAHCON to ensure hitch-free hajj operations
The Muslim Ummah of South-West Nigeria has urged Alidu Shutti, the newly appointed acting secretary of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, to ensure hitch-free 2025 Hajj operations.
Rasaki Oladejo, president of MUSWEN and deputy president-general of Southern Nigerian Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs, said this in a statement on Thursday.
Mr Oladejo emphasised the need for Mr Shittu to bring his experience, which he garnered and deployed over the years, to manifestly reflect in running hajj operations for the benefit of the entire Muslim community in Nigeria.
He commended the executive chairman of NAHCON, Abdullahi Usman, for the well-thought-out decision to look inward to identify an experienced hand who is versatile in hajj operations.
“This is as opposed to the approach of appointing someone who will require going through training and induction into the culture and the inner workings of NAHCON,” said Mr Usman.
The president expressed the readiness of MUSWEN to foster a good partnership with the NAHCON chairman as he steered the ship of a blissful hajj for teeming Muslim brothers and sisters in Nigeria.
