Association for Hajj and Umrah Operators of Nigeria (AHUON) has directed its members to suspend all actions concerning the 2025 Hajj preparation until further notice.

Its president, AbdulLateef Ekundayo, made this known in a statement on Friday.

He said, ” It is with a deep sense of responsibility that we write to issue this directive that all actions with respect to the Hajj 2025 preparation be suspended until further notice.

”Members who have made payment for Hajj 2025 should not submit it until a counter directive is given. Members that have collected the form submitted it, and made payment should send the name of their company to the zonal Vice President.”

Mr Ekundayo explained that the association’s national executive council met with its board of trustees and agreed that the action was necessary.

He said, ”This will ensure that all our requests before NAHCON are duly met, especially our accumulated refunds over the years.”

Mr Ekundayo implored the association’s members to stay action and continue to support its determination to explore all legal means to protect its members’ rights and set a good precedence.
