The National Headquarters of the Companion, an association of Muslim men in business and the professionals, said it has concluded plans to host the immediate former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Alhaji Zikrullah Olakunle Hassan, at a grand reception in his honour.
Alhaji Hassan was the Chairman of the Commission between December 2019 and October 2023.
The Host and National Amir of the faith-based organisation, Engr. Kamil Olalekan, made this known in a statement, copy of which was made available to newsmen, saying that the reception fixed for coming Sunday in Lagos will be held under the chairmanship of the President of MUSWEN and Deputy President (South) of Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo.
According to him, the event was aimed to celebrate and recognise Alhaji Hassan’s achievements during his tenure as the head of the Commission, describing the former chairman as an astute Hajj administrator whose indelible mark at the Commission would stand the test of time in Nigeria.
He said that Alhaji Hassan succeeded in raising the bar of Hajj administration in Nigeria and in Africa, with the groundbreaking reforms adopted to revolutionise all aspects of the operations of the commission.
Olalekan noted that despite the fact that the ex-NAHCON boss faced daunting challenges posed by the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in the wake of his appointment, he still hit the ground running and never looked back in making Nigeria a role model in Hajj management globally.
He submitted that Alhaji Hassan would be fondly remembered for ensuring the take-off of Hajj Saving Scheme; establishment of the Hajj Institute for the training of Hajj operators; making the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria NACHON self-financing; increased awareness and sensitization on Hajj by taking the message to the grassroots and for driving the policy of inclusivity and openness in Hajj management.
