The Chairman/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Prof Abdullahi Saleh has joined millions across the world to celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Fitr, urging them to sincerely pray and sustain the spirit of unity, sacrifice, and obedience embraced during Ramadan.
Prof Saleh made the call on Sunday in his Eid-message while extending heartfelt congratulations to Muslims all over the world on this blessed occasion of Eid el-Fitr.
He said, “On behalf of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), I join millions of Muslims in sincerely praying that we sustain the spirit of unity, sacrifice, and obedience that Ramadan instilled in us; this is the essence of humanity.
“We give gratitude to the Almighty for granting us the strength and patience to observe it to the end. May we live to witness many more Ramadans,” he said.
Prof Saleh used the occasion to call on stakeholders and intending pilgrims for their continued prayers and support towards the success of Hajj 2025, which will be his first experience under his administration.
According to him, “This Eid comes at a critical time to us in NAHCON, time when we intensify preparations for the 2025 Hajj. In the light of this and the positive aura of Ramadan, I humbly appeal for the continued prayers and support of all stakeholders—intending pilgrims, State Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards/Agencies/Commissions, Private Tour Operators, and the general public—for the Commission to deliver a smooth and well-organized Hajj that we all yearn to witness.
“NAHCON has made adequate arrangements for these; our prayer and appeal is for cooperation from all quarters in any small or big way possible.
“Once again, may Allah Almighty accept our fasts, prayers, and good deeds in exchange for Jannatul Firdaus, and may He grant us a successful Hajj season this year. Eid Mubarak”, he added.
