Vice President Kashim has warned the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Hajj Commission, NAHCON, Prof. Abdullahi Saleh-Usman, to stop behaving like a Sole Administrator in running the affairs of Nigerian pilgrims.
The vice president issued this warning in an official communication sent to the NAHCON chairman over the allegations of violation of procurement process, gross misconduct, sidelining of the commission board members, illegal appointment of aides, among others.
Mr Shettima’s warning was contained in a letter dated March 17, 2025, with reference number SH/OVP/DCOS/NAHCON, and titled ‘Re-Deliberate Exclusion from the Exercise of Oversight Functions.’
The letter was signed by the Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, Office of the Vice President, Sen. Ibrahim Hassan Hadejia.
Mr Shettima frowned at the NAHCON chairman style of setting up committees to be taking decisions on behalf of the board in violation of the commission act.
