The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, NAHCON, has cautioned the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, against disrupting the ongoing transportation of Nigeria pilgrims to Saudi Arabia.
The Assistant Director, Public Affairs, NAHCON, Mrs Fatima Usara, gave the advice in a statement on Monday in Abuja.
Usara also emphasized the need for the NLC to respect the sensitivity of “this divine devotion and not to encroach on its movement”.
Information reaching NAHCON indicates that there are plans by a section of the NLC to disrupt the ongoing Hajj operations.
“This is coming in spite of the initial understanding that Hajj flights would not be affected.
“The commission appreciates the concern of the NLC over the welfare of its members, however, NAHCON wants it to respect the sanctity of Hajj as a religious obligation which Muslims do not take lightly.
