The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has reiterated its commitment to the smooth airlift of Nigerian pilgrims to Saudi Arabia for 2023 Hajj exercise.
The commission gave assurance on Monday evening while responding to a report that the pilgrims to this year’s Hajj have been directed to pay an additional $100 charge.
According to a statement by the deputy director of information and publications, NAHCON, Alhaji Mousa Ubandawaki, he said the Commission will never be part of any act that will exploit the pilgrims, explaining that after the additional $250 fare charge by the Airliners due to the closure of Sudanese airspace after several processes and meetings with the Airlines, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the State Pilgrims Welfare Boards in order to find a quick resolution to the problems, the Commission, therefore, resolved to manage the situation.
