He made the offer at a recent courtesy visit to NAHCON Chairman/CEO Ambassador Ismail Abba Yusuf, at the Hajj House in Abuja.

Ambassador Yusuf assured the former SGF that NAHCON remains committed to leveraging the wisdom of key stakeholders as it implements practical measures to reform Hajj administration and elevate service delivery.
