The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) on Tuesday praised President Muhammadu Buhari, saying his administration’s agricultural reform policy had empowered more local farmers to enlist for this year’s hajj.

The Chairman of the nation’s pilgrimage agency, Abdullahi Mohammed, said the current government’s agric policy had economically empowered several local farmers across the country to the extent that thousands of them were able to fund their trips for this year’s hajj.

A total 81,200 Nigerians are performing this year’s pilgrimage, and Mr. Mohammed said majority – at least 60 percent – of that figure are local farmers enriched by Mr. Buhari’s policy.

Each pilgrim paid about N1.5million for this year’s hajj.

In his speech at the 2017 Pre-Arafat meeting with stakeholders, Mr. Mohammed said, “We airlifted 65,000 pilgrims from states, 4000 more than we did last year, and 16,200 from tour operators, 8000 more than we did in 2016.

“We can also see that the reform policy of the Buhari administration in agriculture is working. Sixty percent of pilgrims are farmers and people who made money through agriculture.”

The Buhari administration says it wants to diversify the economy in a manner that positions agriculture as its cornerstone.

Through its Anchor Borrowers Programme, the government has boosted the growing of rice across the country.

The country is also making efforts to export yam to other parts of the world, Agriculture Minister, Audu Ogbeh, recently said.

In his speech at the Makkah event, the NAHCON CEO, Mr. Mohammed, said he and his staff would continue to reform Nigeria’s hajj operation so it can continue to deliver better value to pilgrims.

“Even if it means paying the ultimate price, me and my colleagues are ready for it,” he said.

He said Nigerian pilgrims now enjoy better transportation and medical services while hajj officials are now more committed to their duties.

Savage illiterates. ... Can't you read and comprehend for once in cownu infested life.

1. The farmers sponsored their trip with their own money.

2. The farmers have become wealthy enough to sponsor their own trip due to government policy that has favoured them.

3. As a defender of the lootingverse you should adopt farming rather than survive on crumbs people throw on your table from the many they stole.

Farmers borrowed money from CBN to plant then after harvesting the only thing they decides to do is use the money to enrich Saudi Arabia while the North still lags behind other Islamic cities.


I pity the North with their shallow mindset.

In your petty ignorance you fail to note that a Muslim before going on hajj must settle all his debts and not used borrowed funds to perform the hajj. What lies you will think off cownu slave

Pained souls I see them wailing over this God bless Nigeria

Wonderful achievement from a performing president for helping people achieve religious obligation, whilst giving them dollars at N200, a luxury manufacturers do not enjoy!


Our economy will boom and investors will flood this land with such deep thinking from Mr President.

Going to Hajj when he can pull those resources together and start a SME industry.
Gullible fellows that have given up on bettering their lives

Farmers are raking millions of naira off the sales of their farm produce but defenders of lootocracy are worried that they chose to use part of the whole sum to perform one of the pillars of their religion.

Lazy bums will not make use of the opportunity available to them but they'd heaped blame on others for their high-level stupidity.
