Minister Establishes 7-Member Committee for Efficient Hajj Operations

The Minister of State, Federal Capital Territory, Dr. Mariya Mahmoud, on Thursday, inaugurated a 7-man committee for the 2024 FCT Hajj operations.

Mahmoud said during the inauguration in Abuja that the committee would be chaired by her Senior Special Assistant on Administration and Strategy, Dr. Abdullahi Kauranmata.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the committee is expected to, among other things, ensure effective implementation of the FCT Hajj policies, programmes, and welfare throughout the Hajj exercise.

The committee will specifically supervise and coordinate all FCT Hajj activities from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia, until the return of the last flight back to Nigeria, while it equally provides advice and guidance throughout the Hajj exercise, among others.

The committee is expected to submit a report and recommendations that will contribute to the success of the 2024 Hajj exercise.

She commended the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, for the support given to the FCT Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Board, particularly in ensuring decent accommodation and other welfare issues.

Kauranmata thanked the FCTA for the confidence reposed in the committee.

“I want to, on behalf of all of you, inform and assure Her Excellency that the 2024 Hajj operation will be a successful, Inshallah.

“We will do all that is necessary to ensure that we deliver on the mandate given to us. I’m particularly happy, looking at the caliber of people in the team.

“These are people who have participated in different assignments, including Hajj operations,” he said.
