As a Muslim and a Medical Practitioner I developed a strong interest in serving my country through participation in the Federal Hajj Medical Team. This team constitute doctors, nurses, pharmacists etc. Many people apply every year by submitting a written application at the National Hajj Commission's office in Abuja. Having applied for three consecutive years I (together with friends with similar experience) finally realised that the process of selection of members of the team seriously lack transperancy. This is very shameful and disappointing for Muslims of this great nation. There is extreme favoratism, partiality and selfishness in the process. Thank God the commission has recently replaced its deceitful interview with 'screening/orientation' ( so that many people can stay home and do other things with their money and time).

HOW IS THE SELECTION CONDUCTED?
If you are like me, that is to say, your name was not sent from the under listed channels count yourself among the most unfortunate ones. Do not even attempt to attend the screening as you will be embarrased. They may not even invite you.
1. Aso Rock Villa (VP's office especially)
2. Senate
3. House of Assembly
4. Any of the directors of the Hajj Commission (eg. Director Planning, Operation etc)
5. Any other top ranking government official.

The most unfortunate thing is that while you are trying to have just one chance you will meet people who had selfishly been going for several years. I was vexed last year when I heard some of the officials lying publicly. I quoted one "this year we have disqualified anyone that had 2 chances so if you know you are among them we are advising you to please leave this place". Some will shamelessly quote a Hadith or a verse as if they were sincere in their actions. Many people stopped applying when they discovered the truth.

I have now applied for the 4th time and anticipating invitation any moment from now. My fear is whether the dishonestly will still continue. I am glad that nobody will expect a list from PMB. Osinbajo is not a Muslim. Will this in increase my chance of selection? I seriously doubt it.

PMB is well known for being a transparent, kindhearted and honest leader. I hope people will share their experience concerning this topic.
My prayer is for those responsible for the injustice to quickly change and select people based on merit.

And as big as you are you don't know the right section to post this abi?
