Professor Abdullahi Saleh has resigned as Chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), according to sources close to him. The sources disclosed that the decision was taken personally by Prof. Saleh after deep reflection, stressing that the move was not prompted by the board or external pressure, but by his desire to step aside at this time.
The sources further explained that Prof. Saleh chose to resign to allow the Commission remain focused on its core mandate as preparations intensify for upcoming Hajj operations. They added that he remains committed to cooperating with relevant authorities and believes his exit will help shield the institution from distractions, while arrangements are underway to ensure continuity at NAHCON.
