NAHCON Chairman’s Stand for Justice and Pilgrim Welfare Deserves National Support - By Sa'idu Audu

By Nura Ahmad
The integrity of Nigeria’s Hajj operations depends not only on strong policies but also on principled leadership that places the welfare of pilgrims above all other considerations. 

In recent developments surrounding the administration of the Hajj, the Chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Professor Abdullahi Saleh Usman, has continued to demonstrate a firm and consistent commitment to justice, accountability, and the protection of pilgrims’ rights.

Observers of the process will agree that managing the complexities of Hajj logistics, international coordination, and service delivery requires not only administrative competence but also moral courage. 

It is in this context that Professor Usman’s stance against injustice and exploitation stands out as both timely and commendable.

From the outset, his position has remained clear and unwavering:

1.He does not tolerate any form of injustice against pilgrims.

2.He does not permit Nigerian pilgrims to be subjected to hardship.

3.He does not allow harassment, undue restriction, or the violation of pilgrims’ dignity.

4.He does not approve of accommodations that place pilgrims far from the Holy Mosque.

Beyond these guiding principles, his leadership has been anchored on promoting transparency and ethical conduct within the system. 

His focus has been to ensure that staff and service providers operate within the framework of lawful and moral standards, thereby safeguarding the sanctity of the pilgrimage and the trust placed in the Commission by the Nigerian public.

However, as with many reform-driven initiatives, such efforts often attract resistance from individuals who seek to benefit from improper practices. These challenges underscore the importance of collective responsibility in supporting reforms that prioritize fairness, service, and the greater good.

Truth, it must be emphasized, is not a weapon it is the foundation of justice and social harmony. The responsibility of ensuring a successful and dignified Hajj does not rest solely on the shoulders of leadership; it is a shared duty that calls for integrity from all stakeholders involved.

At this critical juncture, it is fitting to extend words of encouragement and prayers to Professor Usman and his team, asking for continued wisdom, protection, and strength as they carry forward the task of serving Nigerian pilgrims.

May justice prevail, may the journey of every pilgrim be eased, and may this sacred responsibility continue to be fulfilled with sincerity and devotion.
