The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has undertaken a major restructuring of its workforce, announced by the Commission’s Board. Effective immediately, pool officers have been reposted to their original ministries, departments, and agencies to eliminate redundancy and improve service delivery. The Board approved these reforms during its 14th sitting on August 26‑27, 2025, as confirmed by Fatima Sanda Usara, NAHCON’s Deputy Director of Information.
In addition, the Board appointed Alidu Shutti as the new Director of Administration. Chairman Prof. Abdullahi Saleh Usman emphasized NAHCON’s commitment to ongoing reforms, noting that the agency will continue to introduce measures that boost productivity. The reposting of officers aims to reposition the Commission for more effective and efficient service delivery, and the affected staff received letters informing them of the changes on September 4, 2025.
To support these reforms, the Board has approved promotions for deserving officers and capacity‑building programs for all staff. These initiatives are designed to equip employees with the skills needed to achieve the Commission’s objectives. As the body responsible for coordinating Hajj operations in Nigeria, NAHCON expects the restructuring, new appointments, and promotions to enhance its performance, bring fresh perspectives, and positively impact its operations and services.
