Shettima Orders NAHCON to Fix Visa Issues for 2025 Hajj

Vice President Kashim Shettima has assured Nigerians that no intending pilgrim will miss the 2025 Hajj.

He instructed the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) to ensure a smooth process for all pilgrims.

The directive came after concerns arose about a contract dispute with Saudi service provider Mashariq Al-Dhahabiah, which could affect visa approvals.

Shettima met with NAHCON officials at the Presidential Villa in Abuja to address the matter.

He stressed the need for the commission to act swiftly and ensure no disruptions.

NAHCON Chairman, Professor Saleh Usman, also dismissed fears of a contract cancellation, stating that all registered pilgrims would participate without issues.
