The inauguration, which took place Thursday at the commission’s conference room, has members drawn from the Federal Ministry of Health, State Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards and staff of NAHCON.
Mrs Usara also said the committee is expected to make recommendations on how to improve on successes so far recorded in hajj medical operations. The committee, she said, is expected to recommend “reasonable remuneration for medical personnel, taking financial capabilities of individual states into cognisance” and to also identify and review the performance of medical personnel in 2018 hajj in order to propose methods of improvement.
In his speech, the NAHCON Chairman thanked the members for accepting to serve in the committee despite the short notice.
It is not government business to organize a pilgrimage jamboree. Religion is a private issue and should be handled as such. Funds should be channeled to building schools and medical facilities. This Nigeria, I will be offending people now.
