Tinubu Appoints Ismail Abba Yusuf As NAHCON Chairman by Newsgeek24(op): 6:45pm On Feb 11

President Bola Tinubu has appointed Ambassador Ismail Abba Yusuf as the new Chairman/CEO of the National Hajj Commission (NAHCON).

According to the Special Adviser to the President (Information& Strategy), Bayo Onanuga, the appointment is subject to the Senate’s approval in accordance with the provisions of section 3(2) of the NAHCON Act, 2026.

“President Tinubu sent a letter today to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, requesting the expeditious confirmation of Ambassador Yusuf to replace Professor Abdullahi Usman, who resigned this week, after about 14 months in the post.”

It stated that Ambassador Yusuf is a seasoned Nigerian career diplomat who served as the Nigerian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Türkiye from 2021 to 2024.

The development comes 48 hours after Professor Abdullahi Saleh Usman stepped down as head of the agency.

If you don't have anything to say, try to keep your mouth shut. If the existence of the agency is not affecting you, it brings Joy and satisfaction to others. Learn to be polite in your thoughts

Why did the former Chairman resigned.

He refused to be pushed around by politicians, as he wasn't a politician.

I can see you're the one that is not tolerant here, if agency is not for your faith, it doesn't make it senseless.

Not everything in this world is useful to you. It is bases on your priority and need. So keep your useless validation to your house. NAHCON is useful for Muslims in Nigeria. Go and die if it pained you.

I don’t attend Sunday school, I don’t believe in it either. You need to check the dictionary to understand what “brainwash” is.
Please explain the positive contribution of the hajj to the Nigerian economy. I believe that’s not too hard to answer

Pilgrimage is tourism. It should be heavily taxed, but the nkapi in power here subsidize it instead.
