The National Hajj Commission has responded to the outcry by intending pilgrims to Saudi Arabia for the lesser Hajj over the visa issuance process.The Commission in a letter by its spokesperson Fatima Sanda Usara disclosed that the current challenges faced by Nigerian Muslims in obtaining Umrah visas for travel to Saudi Arabia during Ramadan primarily stems from the misuse of privileges granted in the visa issuance process.
“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia extended the visa validity to 90 days. It is obvious many Nigerians secured these visas at lower costs during other periods, obviously in anticipation of performing Umrah during the holy month of Ramadan with them,” Fatima said.
