NAHCON Chairman Urges Early Registration for 2026 Hajj, Attributes 2025 Success to Divine Blessings

The Chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Professor Abdullahi Saleh Usman, has expressed deep gratitude to Almighty Allah for the successful conduct of the 2025 Hajj operations, stating that the achievement is a result of divine intervention and collective effort.

He was speaking to journalists in Kano shortly after his return from the just concluded Hajj in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Professor Saleh noted that the success recorded this year was not his alone, nor that of the Commission, but a blessing from Allah who made the entire operation smooth and fruitful.

“Our success in this year’s Hajj is by the grace of Allah. It is not mine, nor is it solely NAHCON’s it is Allah who blessed this exercise and guided us all through it,” he said.

He commended the cooperation of Nigerian pilgrims and acknowledged the positive contributions of all stakeholders, including members of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs and the House of Representatives Committee on Hajj.

“You’ve heard it all from our leaders from the Senate and House Committees. They spoke on my behalf and expressed what is in my heart. I also thank the media sincerely for helping us take our message to the public. We are happy with your dedication and cooperation,” he added.

The NAHCON Chairman lauded the support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, describing their backing as a key factor in the successful delivery of the 2025 Hajj operations.

“We sincerely appreciate the Federal Government of Nigeria. President Tinubu gave us full support. Vice President Shettima, under whose office we operate, monitored our progress closely always asking what is happening today, and what is planned for tomorrow. That level of support helped us to work as one team with mutual respect,” he said.

Looking ahead to the 2026 Hajj, Professor Saleh assured Nigerians that NAHCON is better prepared than ever before.

“InshaAllah, with the experience we’ve gathered and the lessons we’ve learned this year, we are fully ready for next year. We pray to Almighty Allah to make the 2026 Hajj even more successful and rewarding than this year’s,” he concluded.

NAHCON: Unauthorized Contracts Will Not Be Honored

Information has reached the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) that some persons or self acclaimed agents are using the Commission’s name to make commitments to Service Providers for contracts on pilgrims’ accommodations and feeding arrangements in Saudi Arabia for the 2025 Hajj. Some of these individuals have gone to the extent of making contacts with the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in the name of the Commission. 

In a statement signed by the Assistant Director Public Affairs of the Commission, Fatima Sanda Usara, said, the Chairman of the Outfit, Prof Abdullahi Saleh Usman, wishes to inform the general public, and all stakeholders within the country and beyond, that NAHCON has NOT authorized any individual, group, or agent to enter into contracts or make any arrangements or agreements on its behalf whether in Nigeria or in Saudi Arabia for the year’s Hajj. NAHCON strictly conducts all official transactions through its recognized and authorized personnel, following due process.

Any agreement or arrangement entered into without a formal approval by the Chairman and the direct involvement of NAHCON’s staff officially assigned to the task is unauthorized, and the Commission will not be obligated to honour such contracts.

NAHCON urges the public, Service Providers in Saudi Arabia and in Nigeria, and other stakeholders to exercise caution and ensure that all dealings with NAHCON are done through its official channels of Communication. This announcement is made to protect the Commission’s unsuspecting clientele from falling victims to fraudulent schemes. NAHCON will not take responsibility for any losses incurred by victims of such.

For any clarification or to verify the authenticity of any NAHCON-related claims, kindly contact the NAHCON office through its official channels.
