National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) says airlift of pilgrims to Saudi Arabia for this year’s Hajj would end on Saturday.
The Commission says it has already completed the airlift of 70,837 pilgrims in 171 flight schedule.
The Commission in a statement by its Assistant Director in charge of Public Affairs, Fatima Sanda Usara, said three of the five airlines contracted to airlift pilgrims have completed the quota accorded them, while the remaining two would do so on or before Saturday.
The Commission calls on any eligible pilgrim with valid travel documents that has not been contacted for the journey to approach the nearest pilgrims’ welfare agency for confirmation and subsequent dispatch to the Kingdom for the 2023 Hajj exercise just as he urged pilgrims in the holy land to observe the exercise dutifully and pray for the peace and prosperity of Nigeria.
