The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria says the inaugural flight of this year’s hajj has been scheduled for May 25, with pilgrims from Nasarawa State.
Chairman of NAHCON, Zikrullah Hassan, stated this on Thursday during the inauguration of this year’s Hajj Media Team at the Hajj House in Abuja.
He said an advanced team of hajj officials would depart for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on Sunday to prepare for the reception of Nigeria’s pilgrims.
Hassan enjoined the media team to be fair and just in their reporting through responsible information dissemination before, during, and after the Hajj exercise.
He said the commission was ready for the hajj exercise and would ensure that all the pilgrims got value for their money.
