Shettima receives 2026 Hajj report, commends NAHCON over improved operations
Vice President Kashim Shettima has commended the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria for what he described as improved and seamless operations during the 2026 Hajj exercise.
Shettima spoke on Friday in Abuja when he received the comprehensive 2026 Hajj operations report from the NAHCON board, led by its chairman, Ismail Abba Yusuf.
The Vice President attributed the outcome of the exercise to the leadership of President Bola Tinubu and his intervention at a critical stage of the pilgrimage operations.
He said the President’s support contributed to the successful conclusion of the exercise.
“And I must thank Mr President for decisively coming to the rescue of NAHCON. We want to thank him for the support that culminated in such a highly successful and seamless operation,” Shettima said.
He also praised the NAHCON board, particularly its chairman, for what he described as confidence, capacity and professionalism demonstrated during the exercise.
“I am very proud of the NAHCON chairman. He has shown capacity and exhibited a very high sense of professionalism and the willingness to carry on board members,” the Vice President said.
Shettima urged the commission’s leadership to sustain the momentum recorded during the 2026 Hajj.
