Buhari Cancels Govt Delegation To Hajj, To Save $1m by Rilwayne001: 9:45pm On Aug 10, 2015
ABUJA – In his bid to cut cost of governments,
President Mohammadu Buhari has announced that
there would be no federal government delegation for
this year’s hajj in Saudi Arabia.

He however stated that the government shall play its
traditional roles of providing consular, medical and
security services to Nigerian pilgrims.

With the decision, the government is expected to save
about $1 million and N30m in local expenses.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media
and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu who stated this on
Monday quoted the president as saying that the
decision was not targeted at any individual or group.

He also stated that States were at liberty to sponsor
their pilgrims, if they so desired.

“The states can deal with that (meaning appointment of
own delegations) but this year at the Center, we will not
be involved” Shehu said

Wow!! Thats such a good decision, so the state governments should go ahead with it.
Saving costs is really necessary..
Hope tomorrow morning, oppositions will not start piling up in courts and social media over it?
While some are already calculating how much they will embezzle from it.

That's the position, since PMB assumed leadership, things are being done rightly.

I see somebody who feels for Nigeria and who is ready to make the system work in the country.

Some saTANists will soon come here to tell us that GEJ did it. WTF! Was he not the same GEJ that was busy drinking ogogoro through out his tenure?

Wailers, keep off this thread please.

Buhari approved 160 naira to a dollar for Christian pilgrims. ..

Now, he has cancelled government delegation to hajj(muslims).

This is the same man that is a tribal bigot.

This is the same man that wants to islamise Nigeria.

TANoids are legendary idiots. ....

Good! I hope this leads on to the entire government excluding itself from religious pilgrimages whether Christian or Muslim. Religion is a private thing and should remain so. State governments ought to respect and enforce this too especially those owing salaries! I wonder what they discuss in their Governors' Forum that it has not yet occurred to them to stop these wasteful activities and quit throwing our money at foreign governments from airlines to the pilgrimage destinations. Countries that still have no regard for Nigeria because she refuses to fix her issues despite so many resources!

After allowing people to use the christian pilgrimage to buy dollars at extremely cheap rates, even when we all knew that christian pilgrimage is not important to Christians. Now he cancelled govt. delegation to Hajj. . . who is fooling who?

If he truly wants to fight corruption, let him not influence the exchange rate for dollars for both muslim and christian pilgrims. . . We all know that it's not available to the general public and only those politicians are given slots for pilgrimage. . .

Prof. Osinbajo.... please talk to Buhari ooo... we are not fools o!

I suggest seun should replace the share button with a dislike button so that any comment with a net negative rating (dislike minus likes) of 100 should be automatically hidden.
This poster deserves a dislike

Maybe the moderator is related to Doyin Okupe. I will advise you to petition seun. Most of his Moderators are weed addict, they ban indiscriminately.

Seemz todayz FP has been dedicated to PRO PMB fans...no wonder dey hav been dancing Shakiti Bobo on top PRO GEJ fans head since mornin.
.
Anyway one fact u cant contradict is dat PMB means well for generality of Nigerians...Criticize,Abusé, belittle his effort bt PLZ do so CONSTRUCTIVELY..is all gud for our nascent democracy.
.
.
If you one go for pilgrimage...be ready to foot ur bill....Afterall God is more concern abt ur personal/ hardearned sacrifice to him....If i lié go ask ABEL, CAIN brother.
