The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria has been called upon to double its efforts in over coming the myriad of problems hindering smooth Hajj operation in Nigeria.
The Guest Speaker at the National Hajj and Umrah Stakeholders Conference and NAHCON’s 10th year anniversary in Abuja, Dr. Usman Bugaje, gave the advice.
Bugaje said despite its 10 years of existence, NAHCON is yet to begin the actual work it was established to perform.
Bugaje called on the leadership of NAHCON to first study and understand the scope and depth of its mandate and the opportunities the mandate presents.
He said the mandate of NAHCON does not end with reinventing Hajj management and operations only, but also reinventing and re-orienting the entire Muslim Umrah in this country.
Dr. Bugaje further advised NAHCON to squarely face the challenges of establishing the highest ethical standards to build the most needed credibility and trust to succeed in its herculean tasks.
He said NAHCON needs trustworthy, competent, dedicated, highly committed, dependable and reliable staff to succeed in its mandatory assignment.
