AN OPEN LETTER TO HIS EXCELLENCY, PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU (GCFR)

By Nura Ahmad
​Your Excellency,
​As the custodian of our national trust and the leader of Nigeria’s reform agenda, we bring to your urgent attention the unfolding crisis behind the scenes at the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON). The battle being fought today is not a mere administrative disagreement; it is a full-scale war launched by "entrenched interest networks" to sabotage any attempt to sanitize pilgrims' funds from systematic looting.
​Your Excellency, in the interest of truth and justice, we present the following technical facts:
​1. The Myth of Individual Responsibility vs. Financial Controls:
The current Chairman, Professor Abdullahi Saleh Usman, is facing a coordinated character assassination campaign by certain Board members. We must ask: How can the Chairman be solely accused of financial mismanagement when the "Approving Officer" (Commissioner of Finance/PPMF), the Accounts Department, and Internal Audit must all sign off on every transaction?
Under the NAHCON Act, not a single Naira can be spent without the signature of the relevant Commissioner. If corruption exists, why is the "Authorizing Officer" targeted while the "Executing Officer" is exonerated? Targeting the Chairman alone is a transparent attempt to shield the "Old Guard," some of whom still face unresolved EFCC charges from previous administrations.
​2. The Triangle of "Mashariq – Shuraka’ul Khair – and the Middlemen":
The heart of this crisis lies in the Chairman’s refusal to bow to the extortion of external service providers like "Mashariq Dhahabiyya" and their local affiliates. Our findings indicate the existence of a cross-border "Syndicate" involving former commissioners and high-ranking officials in state and regional offices. They act as middlemen for these firms to secure monopoly contracts in exchange for massive kickbacks—all extracted from the sweat of Nigerian pilgrims.
​3. Exploiting Political Influence to Cover Corruption:
Regrettably, this "Syndicate" enjoys the protection of certain individuals in sensitive offices who seek to thwart any reform that cuts off the "rent-seeking" pipelines they have long enjoyed. They are attempting to professionally assassinate the Chairman because he dared to demand transparency and direct contracting, which eliminates these "brokers."
​Your Excellency, our demands for justice are as follows:
​First: Immediate intervention to purge the NAHCON Board of any member with unresolved corruption cases or EFCC investigations to ensure the office is not used to obstruct reform.
​Second: The establishment of a high-powered investigative panel under your office to probe the "interest links" between external service providers and middlemen within state offices.
​Third: Protecting the Commission's independence to dismantle the corrupt supply chains that have turned pilgrims' money into a source of embezzlement.
​Your Excellency,
Nigeria deserves an administration that protects the dignity of the pilgrim. We trust in your justice and firmness to strike the hands of the corrupt and restore order before the 2026 Hajj season is swallowed by these selfish conflicts.

​May God guide you to the truth and grant you victory over the unjust.
