The letter reads: “Pursuant to section 3(1)(d) (II) and (III) of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) Act, 2006, I am pleased to forward for confirmation by the Senate two (2) additional nominees, Bala Muhammad and Yusuf Nwoha, as members of the National Hajj Commission (NAHCON).

“The Distinguished Senate may wish to recall that I recently sent sixteen (16) nominees to be considered by the Senate, for appointment as members of NAHCON. At that time, I indicated that names of the remaining nominees would be conveyed to the Senate, once ongoing consultations were concluded.


“Having now concluded those consultations, I hereby request for the confirmation, by the Senate of the appointments of the following two (2) additional nominees as members of NAHCON, namely: Bala Muhammad as the representative of Jama’atul Nasril Islam; and Yusuf Chinedozi Nwoha as representative of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs.”

Findings revealed that President Buhari had on December 3, 2019, sent a list of 16 nominees for the NAHCON Board with a nominee from Osun state, Zikrullah Olakunke Hassan, as chairman designate.

The additional nominees have now increased the number of nominees for the NAHCON board to 18.
