The Association of Hajj and Umrah Operations of Nigeria, AHUON, has called on its members to suspend all the activities for 2025 Hajj for further notice.
President of AHUON, AbdulLateef Yusuff Ekundayo, who made the call via a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja, said the action be sustained until all requests before NAHCON are duly met, especially the accumulated refunds over the years.
The statement reads, Dear Esteemed Members of our great association.
It is with a deep sense of responsibility that we write to issue this directive that all actions with respect to the Hajj 2025 preparation be suspended until further notice.
“Members who have made payment for hajj 2025 form should not submit it until a counter directive is given.
“Members that have collected the form, submitted it, and made payment should send the name of their company to the zonal VP
“The NEC has met with our BOT members, and we all agreed that this action is necessary to ensure that all our requests before NAHCON are duly met, especially our accumulated refunds over the years.
“It is worthy of note that NAHCON responded to our several letters of request only on Tuesday, 24th Sept 2024, giving an excuse that Hajj processing should not be delayed to align with the Saudi Hajj calendar.
“This, to us, is their usual tactics over the years with regards to the issues of accumulated refunds with them and can no longer be tolerated.
“We implore our dear members to stay action and continue to support our determination to explore all legal means of recovering our members’ rights and set a good precedence for both parties.
“This period is no doubt challenging, but with your support and prayers, there is a light at the end of the tunnel Bi’izinilLahi Rahman.”
