Tour Operators Withdraw from 2025 Hajj, Allege Mismanagement and Favoritism by NAHCON

Maryam Aminu

Three licensed Hajj tour operators Travel Express Ltd, An-Noor Air Services and Tours Ltd, and Positive Trends Travel and Tours Ltd have announced their withdrawal from participation in the 2025 Hajj exercise, citing alleged irregularities, mismanagement, and unethical practices by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON).

In a detailed statement released by the signatories Usman A. Ambursa, Haruna Isma’il, and Ikrimah Muhammad the operators accused NAHCON of engaging in “Machiavellian” tactics, sidelining private tour operators, and promoting vested interests at the expense of Nigerian pilgrims.

“Our decision to withdraw was driven by our commitment to a clean, transparent, and pilgrim-focused Hajj operation,” the statement read. “Unfortunately, NAHCON’s current approach appears to prioritize personal and political interests over service delivery and accountability.”

The conflict reportedly began after the 2024 Hajj, during which the operators claim to have secured a favorable agreement with long-standing Saudi service provider, Ithra’a Al Joud. The company had allegedly provided exceptional services to Nigerian pilgrims under the supervision of the Association of Hajj and Umrah Operators of Nigeria (AHUON).

Encouraged by Ithra’a’s transparency, refund compliance, and competitive pricing, the three tour operators submitted a contract proposal to NAHCON for the 2025 Hajj. The contract was signed by the NAHCON Chairman in January but was later undermined, according to the operators.

“Just two days after the contract was signed, the Chairman asked us to remove the Tent A VIP service segment, citing that NAHCON had already allocated it to another service provider, Rawaf Mina,” the group claimed.

The operators insist that NAHCON’s direct involvement in marketing premium services to VIPs and state governments traditionally the purview of private tour companies represents a breach of role and unfair competition.

They further allege that NAHCON pressured other tour operators to switch to Rawaf Mina by delaying procurement approvals for Ithra’a and blocking access to essential platforms, such as the visa processing portal

“Despite Ithra’a offering a more favorable package reducing its Tent D+ economy price to 3,490 Saudi Riyals NAHCON refused to formally release this offer to the public,” the operators said. “Instead, they used their influence to discredit Ithra’a and intimidate tour operators.”

As a result, only one lead company reportedly stood by Ithra’a, but was subsequently denied access to camp bookings and an independent IBAN account allegedly in retaliation.

The three signatories say they too were denied the opportunity to select a lead company for this year’s Hajj because of their insistence on transparency and choice.

The tour operators say their withdrawal is not an act of protest but a stand for reform.

“Our goal remains simple: to ensure a Hajj operation that puts the pilgrim first, free from exploitation, and committed to service quality,” they said.

They promised to release a follow-up statement to expose the financial breakdown of Hajj packages and the alleged misuse of pilgrims’ funds to “finance the jamboree of NAHCON officials and cronies.”

Tour Operators Withdraw From 2025 HAJJ: Accuse NAHCON Of Opaque Pravtices, Call For Reforms

Maryam Aminu

Three leading Hajj tour operators have formally announced their withdrawal from participating in the 2025 Hajj operations, citing systemic corruption, lack of transparency, and disregard for the rights of Nigerian pilgrims by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON).

In a strongly worded joint statement released by Positive Trends Travel and Tours Ltd (Kaduna), Travel Express Ltd (Abuja), and An-Noor Air Services and Tours Ltd (Kano), the companies accused NAHCON of monopolizing service contracts, denying licensed operators the right to negotiate on behalf of their clients, and fostering an environment where pilgrim welfare is consistently compromised.

The CEOs, all veterans of the Hajj and Umrah industry with over 90 years of combined experience, said their decision was made in protest against entrenched self-interest within the Commission. “We have devoted our lives to the service of pilgrims, and this action is not one of abandonment but of protest,” said Ikramah Muhammad, CEO of Positive Trends and Deputy President (Hajj Affairs) of the Association for Hajj and Umrah Operators of Nigeria (AHUON).

According to the statement, previous efforts to reform the service delivery system including requests for tour operators to independently select and negotiate with Hajj service providers were ignored or met with hostility.

The tour operators explained that their grievances date back to the tenure of former NAHCON Chairman Barr. Zikrullahi Kunle Hassan, who had agreed in principle to reforms following the poor 2023 Hajj experience. However, subsequent administrations, including the current board led by Prof. Abdullahi Saleh Usman, have allegedly reversed any progress made, pushing for full central control over service negotiations.

“The current NAHCON board has taken a Machiavellian approach bent on silencing dissenting voices and weakening AHUON,” said Haruna Isma’il, Vice President (Kano zone), who co-signed the release.

The operators outlined several issues plaguing Hajj operations in Nigeria:

Lack of transparency in cost breakdowns for services such as accommodation, transportation, and catering in Saudi Arabia.

Conflict of interest, with NAHCON allegedly profiting from unaccounted negotiations while passing inflated or deflated costs to pilgrims.

Systematic exclusion of tour operators from key decisions, despite being the direct service providers to thousands of pilgrims.

They also claimed that service providers offer inducements to NAHCON officials including cash, hotel stays, and gifts in a bid to win contracts, further compromising the integrity of the system.

Citing the administration’s commitment to free-market reforms, the operators called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to intervene and restructure NAHCON’s role.

“We urge the government to separate regulation from operation. NAHCON should serve as a watchdog, not a service vendor,” said Ambursa A. Usman, Vice President (Abuja zone) of AHUON.

They described the current system as a failed project, warning that continued suppression of industry stakeholders will only perpetuate hardship for Nigerian pilgrims.

The operators announced that this was the first in a three-part series aimed at exposing the financial and operational flaws within NAHCON. Future statements, they said, will provide detailed financial analyses of Hajj costs and expose the “recklessness” behind inflated charges borne by pilgrims.

“As businessmen of integrity, we are ready to stake our reputations to demand justice for pilgrims and reform for the industry,” the statement concluded.

Experts Say Executive Order Alone Not Enough to Secure Nigeria’s Telecom Infrastructure

Maryam Aminu

Despite the Federal Government’s Executive Order on the Designation and Protection of Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII), telecom industry stakeholders have sounded the alarm that more than policy declarations are needed to secure Nigeria’s telecommunications investments.

At the 7th edition of the Policy Implementation Assisted Forum (PIAFo) held in Lagos on Thursday, leading voices in the sector stressed that internal inefficiencies, lack of standardisation, and community resistance remain major barriers to the security and sustainability of telecom infrastructure.

Speaking at the summit, Engr. Gbenga Adebayo, Chairman of the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), said while the CNII Executive Order is a step in the right direction, poor infrastructure maintenance, unauthorized installations, and strained community relations continue to expose telecom assets to vandalism and theft.

Adebayo cited repeated cases of manhole cover and pole theft due to substandard installation practices. “When properly installed, these components are difficult to remove, but negligence has left them unsecured and vulnerable,” he said. He also recounted how unresolved damages caused by contractors have led to community resistance, delaying critical infrastructure projects.

He warned that infrastructure deployed without government approval often goes undocumented, making it susceptible to accidental destruction during roadworks. “Collaboration with relevant authorities is key. Unregistered infrastructure invites trouble,” Adebayo cautioned.

Echoing similar sentiments, Tony Emoekpere, President of the Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria (ATCON), underscored the moral and environmental dimensions of infrastructure challenges in the country.

He recounted a case where switching from diesel to gas generators only led to a new wave of oil theft. “It’s not just about technology; it’s also about values and ethics,” he said, calling for national standardisation in infrastructure deployment.

Emoekpere pointed out that while Nigeria has robust local content policies, actual implementation continues to fall short. “The time for endless policy talk is over. We need follow-through, enforcement, and measurable actions,” he stated.

On his part, Wale Owoeye, CEO of Cedarview Communications Limited, shed light on the devastating impact of cable vandalism. He said telecom operators like Airtel experience cable cuts as frequently as every six minutes due to widespread assumptions that black cables contain valuable copper.

“Cable theft is an epidemic,” he said. To counter it, Owoeye proposed a three-pronged approach: reorientation through community engagement in local languages, strict enforcement with real legal consequences, and preventive measures rather than reactive solutions.

In a show of commitment, he pledged N500,000 quarterly toward an advocacy fund aimed at protecting telecom infrastructure, and urged other operators to join the cause. “This is a seed. With collective action, we can grow it into a nationwide movement,” he said.

The event, hosted by Omobayo Azeez, Convener of the PIAFo summit, brought together stakeholders from both public and private sectors, including infrastructure operators, regulatory agencies, and community leaders.

Collectively, speakers at the summit agreed that protecting Nigeria’s telecom infrastructure requires a holistic approach one that combines policy implementation with strong community relations, ethical practices, industry coordination, and proactive protection measures.

Top Anti-Corruption Chiefs Unite to Tackle Financial Mismanagement in Nigeria’s Local Governments

Maryam Aminu

In a bold move to strengthen accountability and transparency at the grassroots level, the heads of Nigeria’s foremost anti-corruption and fiscal responsibility agencies have come together to chart a new course for curbing corruption in local government finances.

The high-level strategy meeting, held under the auspices of the Accountability & Corruption Prevention Program for Local Governments in Nigeria (ACPPLG), brought together the Chairmen of the Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC), the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

The program, organized by the ICPC, served as a critical platform to address the growing concerns of financial mismanagement across Nigeria’s local government system.

FRC Chairman, Victor Muruako, Esq., emphasized the urgent need for stronger financial oversight mechanisms and strict compliance with fiscal responsibility laws.

He noted that local governments, being the closest to the people, must uphold the highest standards of financial discipline to drive sustainable development.

On his part, Dr. Abdulahi Usman Bello, Chairman of the CCB, stressed the importance of ethical conduct among public officials.

He reaffirmed the Bureau’s dedication to enforcing transparency and upholding integrity, stating that rooting out corruption at the local level was essential for broader national reform.

Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, Chairman of the ICPC, underscored the strategic role of the ACPPLG initiative in improving governance outcomes.

The program is designed to uncover systemic loopholes, develop policy frameworks, and promote collaboration among stakeholders committed to fighting corruption in public finance.

The forum featured intensive discussions among anti-corruption experts, public finance managers, and key government officials. Participants explored practical strategies to plug leakages, enforce accountability, and improve service delivery at the local government level.

As Nigeria continues its long-standing battle against corruption, the synergy among institutions like the FRC, CCB, and ICPC signals a renewed commitment to fiscal integrity and ethical governance. Stakeholders expressed optimism that the outcomes of the ACPPLG initiative would pave the way for meaningful reforms and foster a culture of transparency across all tiers of government.

CIPMN Raises Alarm Over Fraudulent Activities Tarnishing Its Reputation

Emmanuel Daudu

The Chartered Institute of Project Managers of Nigeria (CIPMN) has issued a strong warning against a group of individuals allegedly involved in fraudulent activities that threaten the integrity of the institute.

In a statement released by Dr. Mrs. Victoria Okoronkwo, Founder, Chairman of the Governing Council, and Pioneer President of CIPMN, the institute has called for urgent action to expose and hold accountable those responsible for illegal practices.

According to Dr. Okoronkwo, the former Registrar of CIPMN, Henry Ifeanyi Mbadiwe, alongside his associates Jamilu Isa Yankwashi, Hajara Yusuf, and Chief Emmanuel Olabode Afolayan has been engaged in fraudulent activities including issuing fake certificates, conducting unauthorized training and inductions, and attempting to undermine the institute’s credibility.

The controversy dates back to 2019 when Dr. Okoronkwo invited Mbadiwe from the UK to serve as CIPMN’s pioneer Registrar. However, what began as a promising tenure turned into a crisis when Mbadiwe allegedly exploited his position for personal gain. A legal battle ensued, culminating in a judgment from an FCT High Court (SUIT NO: CV/125/19) on December 15, 2020, which led to Mbadiwe’s dismissal. This ruling was enforced by the CIPMN Council through an official letter (Ref No: CIPMN/TOA.HIM.06.21) dated June 18, 2021. Despite this, Mbadiwe reportedly continued operating unlawfully, deceiving the public with counterfeit certifications and training programs.

The alleged fraudulent activities extended beyond the issuance of fake credentials.

Dr. Okoronkwo highlighted a failed attempt by Mbadiwe and his business associate, Bashir Adewale, to seize control of the CIPMN website. A fraudulent letter, referenced CIPMN/ADM/GXC/036/VOL.1/029, was reportedly issued by Mbadiwe, falsely accusing CIPMN of impersonation. Furthermore, the fraudulent use of the domain cipmn.gov.ng has continued, despite CIPMN not being a government agency under the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investments (FMITI).

Additionally, Dr. Okoronkwo revealed that Mbadiwe and his associates attempted to repeal the legitimate CIPMN Establishment Act No. 3 of 2018 (Gazetted No. 15 Vol. 105) and replace it with an alternative bill (H.B. 1476) to legitimize their unlawful operations.

Their financial
misconduct reportedly includes fraudulent funding requests made to the Federal Government under false pretenses, with figures reaching billions of naira.

Another alarming incident occurred on January 8, 2024, when Mbadiwe published a list of presumed project managers in Punch Newspaper, despite his prior dismissal. CIPMN swiftly countered this move with a public response in Benchmark News and The Guardian Newspaper on March 1, 2024.

The CIPMN has also condemned the actions of Jamilu Isa Yankwashi, a sitting Vice President, who allegedly attempted to seize control of the institute through unlawful means. On June 13, 2023, Yankwashi reportedly declared himself President before the expiration of his term on June 15, 2023.

Additionally, he has been accused of registering a parallel organization, the Institute of Project, Program, and Project Portfolio Management, with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), in a bid to usurp CIPMN’s authority.

Dr. Okoronkwo reaffirmed CIPMN’s commitment to exposing fraudulent actors and maintaining the credibility of the institute.

She urged stakeholders, regulatory bodies, and the general public to stand with CIPMN in protecting its integrity and ensuring that those responsible for these fraudulent acts are brought to justice.

As the CIPMN continues its fight against fraud, the institute remains steadfast in upholding its Establishment Act and preserving the ethical standards of project management in Nigeria.

Investigations are ongoing, and further legal actions are expected to follow against those implicated in these fraudulent activities.
