KMPWB Applauds NAHCON's Hajj Organisation but Flags Toilet and Consular Gaps for 2026

Date: 2025-06-19

The Kwara State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board (KMPWB) has praised the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) for its successful organisation of the 2025 Hajj, particularly in areas of food provision, accommodation, transportation, coordination, and service delivery, enabling pilgrims to perform their rites smoothly.

However, during an interview with journalists in Makkah yesterday, KMPWB Chairman Alhaji Mashood Jimba urged NAHCON to address consular support and improve toilet facilities at Hajj camps in Mina for future pilgrimages. He highlighted these as key areas requiring attention ahead of the 2026 Hajj.

Jimba acknowledged NAHCON's commendable performance but stressed the need for enhancements to ensure pilgrims' comfort and dignity during the sacred journey.

"NAHCON needs to improve in the area of toilets.

"For example, Kwara State comprising 2,206 pilgrims, were given only one toilet of 10 rooms, which really stressed us as there was too much congestion," he said.

Jimba said one had to wake up at midnight when there was no congestion to be able to go to the toilet without stress.

The chairman added that NAHCON needs to work closely with the Nigerian Embassy in Saudi Arabia and the Consular General's office to get things done on time.

According to him, apart from these, other things like food, accommodation and transportation were fantastic.

"NAHCON has shown us that if Nigerians want to do something, they can do it, as they have the capacity, intelligence and manpower.

"So, all these things put together, we have seen in NAHCON this year, what we have never seen before, in terms of proper coordination, connectivity and service delivery to pilgrims, " he said.

Jimba said the commission provided buses, which conveyed Nigerian pilgrims on a tour to the holy sites."
