The Chairman/CEO of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Alhaji Zikrullah Kunle Hassan, has called on Nigerians to renew their commitment to nation-building, embrace their differences, and celebrate their shared values, so as to have a peaceful, united and prosperous nation.
Alhaji Hasaan made the call in his Independence mesaage to Nigerians, just as he appealed to Nigerians to, in the spirit of the nation’s 63rd Independence, take a cue from the selfless contributions of the country’s forefathers and heroes who worked assiduously to lay a solid foundation for our dear country.
“Independence Day symbolizes the triumph of our collective will and unwavering determination to shape our own destiny. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by our forefathers and the countless heroes who fought tirelessly for our freedom. On this day, we honor their memories and pay tribute to their selfless contributions.
“Let us remember that the strength of our nation lies in its diversity. We are a tapestry of different ethnicities, religions, and languages, and it is this diversity that makes us unique. Let us embrace our differences, celebrate our shared values, and work towards a future of inclusivity and harmony.
“On this Independence Day, let us renew our commitment to nation-building. Each one of us has a role to play in shaping Nigeria’s destiny. Whether through active citizenship, community engagement, or promoting positive change, our actions can make a significant impact. Together, we can build a Nigeria that thrives on unity, justice, and prosperity.
“As you are aware, preparations for 2024 Hajj has commenced in earnest with the guidance of a Calendar of events , released by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, in which they have indicated the deadlines for the conclusion of all negotiations for services that will be rendered to pilgrims in the Kingdom. We enjoin all intending pilgrims to pay the required deposit timely” the statement read in part.
