The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has advised Muslim faithful to sustain the virtues of discipline, compassion, unity and generosity cultivated during the month of Ramadan.
The Chairman/CEO of NAHCON, Amb. Ismail Abba, gave the advice while felicitating with the Muslim Ummah on the joyous occasion of Eid-el-Fitri, marking the successful completion of the blessed month.
“On behalf of the Board, Management and staff of NAHCON, I warmly felicitate with the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria and across the world on the joyous occasion of Eid-el-Fitri.
“Eid-el-Fitri marks the successful completion of the blessed month of Ramadan.
“Ramadan has been a period of deep spiritual reflection, sacrifice, patience and devotion to Allah (SWT).
“As we celebrate this blessed day of Eid, I urge all Muslims to sustain the virtues of discipline, compassion, unity and generosity cultivated during the holy month,” he said.
He prayed to Allah (SWT) to accept the fasting, prayers and acts of charity, and grant peace, unity and prosperity to the nation.
The NAHCON boss reassured all intending pilgrims for the 2026 Hajj that the commission remained fully committed to enhancing the quality of services across all areas, including accommodation, feeding, medical care, and transportation.
“We will enforce strict adherence to international best practices, uphold accountability, and maintain clear timelines to ensure the comfort, safety, and overall well-being of every pilgrim.
“I also wish to commend the dedication and cooperation of our staff, stakeholders, and partners who have continued to support the commission in our preparations for the 2026 Hajj operations,” Abba said.
He also announced that all visas had been successfully issued in line with the established timeline.
He said that the pre-arrival stage was scheduled to commence on Shawwal 1, 1447 AH.
“Once again, I congratulate the Muslim Ummah on this joyous occasion and pray that Allah (SWT) grants us many more opportunities to witness Eid in peace, good health and prosperity.”
