No fewer than 51,447 Nigerians have successfully registered to participate in the 2024 Hajj in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), has confirmed.
The Executive Chairman of the commission, Malam Jalal Ahmad Arabi, disclosed this during the breaking of Ramadan fast with the media representatives at Hajj House on Friday night in Abuja.
Arabi said the President Bola Tinubu-led federal government played a leading role, especially with policies to support the Commission in the realisation of its objective.
He added that the commission was on course to conduct a successful Hajj operation despite the challenges.
“This year’s Hajj preparation is one of the most difficult and peculiar ones. You know, in the past, we had the luxury of time to prepare at our own pace, but this time around, the host which is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia came up with a timeline that we have to work within.
