Professor Abdullahi Saleh Usman, the head of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), explained the reasons behind late payments for 2025 Hajj services. Usman attributed the delays to a policy change by the Saudi Arabian authorities, affecting the payment schedule for Nigerian pilgrims.
The shift in payment requirements led to challenges in meeting the payment deadlines, unlike previous years. Usman highlighted the impact of the policy change on the Hajj process and emphasized the need for a National Hajj Policy to address such issues.
The explanation provided insights into the complexities of organizing the annual pilgrimage and the importance of policy frameworks to streamline the process for Nigerian pilgrims.
