National Hajj Commission of Nigeria NAHCON has inspected facilitates at the holy sites of Muna, plain of Arafat and muzdalifah, ahead of Arafat scheduled for Tuesday next week.
NAHCON’s Cordinator, Aliyu Tanko, while taking journalists round the site, in Makkah, said that adequate arrangements were being finalised to ensure the smooth movement of pilgrims to, from and within the areas.
Tanko, who was accompanied by the officials of the Company of Mutawwif for pilgrims from African non-Arab countries said rehabilitation works were at various stages of completion at the holy sites.
According to him, the Saudi Arabian authorities had resolved to make this year’s hajj memorable, saying that this was attested to by the face lift and upgrade of the Arafat tenting project.
He explained that based on scholars’ advice and the Saudi authorities policy to ensure comfort and ease, pilgrims’ movement to Muna would begin from midnight of the 7th of Dhul-Hijjah, equivalent to June 26.
