In an effort by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) to ensure hitch-free Hajj this year, the Commission went to Malaysia to learn about the Malaysia’s model of hajj operation.
NAHCON Chairman Muhammad Musa Bello disclosed this when he visited the Nigerian High Commissioner to Malaysia Ambassador Peter Anegbeh at the Nigeria House in Kuala Lumpur.
Bello, who was accompanied on the trip by some staff of the commission, told the Nigerian High Commissioner that the team was in Malaysia to learn from the country’s world acclaimed “Tabung Hajj Saving Scheme.”
The Tabung Hajj is the Malaysian hajj pilgrims fund board which facilitates savings for the pilgrimage to Makkah through investment in Shariah-compliant vehicles.
Bello said Nigeria is interested in replicating the Malaysian model in an effort to deliver a hitch-fee hajj operation in the country and to improve on its current performance..
Speaking while receiving the team, Ambassador Anegbeh expressed happiness that Nigeria is choosing the Malaysian model to transform its own hajj operations.
He urged the Nigerian hajj commission to constructively undertake what needs to be done for Nigerian pilgrims to perform their religious rites without any undue suffering while in Saudi Arabia.
