The Vice-President, Senator Kashim Shettima, will lead Nigeria’s contingent of pilgrims and officials to perform this year’s Hajj exercise in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
This was revealed by the Chairman/CEO of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Professor Abdullahi Saleh Usman, on Wednesday while participating in a Freedom Radio Kaduna Hausa programme, Barka Da Warhaka.
According to Usman, Shettima will lead the contingent to perform the spiritual exercise as a Muslim and personally supervise Nigeria’s participation in the religious rite to assess how it is being handled by those responsible for its execution.
The chairman said the Vice-President prefers to be personally involved in and supervise situations rather than relying on third-party information.
