The Chairman/CEO, National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Malam Jalal Ahmad Al-Arabi on Thursday received the Executive Governor of Imo State, His Excellency, Governor Hope Uzodinma, at the Hajj House , Abuja.
In a statement signed by the Commission’s Deputy Director, Information & Publications Division, Mal. Mousa Ubandawaki, the Hajj Commission boss expressed delight in hosting the Imo State Governor at the Hajj House.
Arabi described Governor Uzodinma as a pillar of support to the Commission for his interventions in ensuring that intending Muslim pilgrims from his State are able to participate in this year’s hajj.
In his words, “You have been a pillar of support to us in the Commission through your support in ensuring that Muslims in Imo state will be able to participate in hajj.
“You supported us in 2023 and also this year in spite of being of the Christian faith and Imo State being a predominantly Christian State. For us you’re a symbol of peaceful religious coexistence and unity in the country.”
He presented Governor Hope Uzodinma with a letter of commendation and an award of excellence for his support and promotion of peaceful religious coexistence and unity.
In his response, Governor Uzodinma expressed his sincere appreciation for the honour shown him and restated his firm belief in peaceful inter-faith coexistence to promote development and prosperity in Imo State and Nigeria as a whole.
Recall that the Executive Governor was part of a handful of governors that provided subsidy with regard to the 2024 hajj fare which enabled intending Muslim pilgrims from his State to participate in this year’s hajj rites.
