The nomination, on Thursday, of Alhaji Zikrullahi Kunle Hassan as Executive Chairman, National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) by President Muhammadu Buhari has been commended by Muslim Rights Concerns (MURIC).
Hassan’s nomination came along with those of new commissioners in the Hajj agency.
MURIC, via a statement by its Director, Professor Isiaq Akintola, sent to The DEFENDER, hailed the incoming chairman as the right man for the job.
According to MURIC, “Dhikrullah Hassan is the right man for the job. There is no doubt about it. He is not a green horn in managing hajj matters. He was the chairman of the Osun State Muslim Pilgrims Board for good eight years and his good performance led to his emergence as the chairman of all state pilgrims boards. Besides, he is a lawyer, an Islamic scholar and a numero uno administrator all rolled into one. A Quraysh has come to Makkah.
“We have seen him in action both in Nigeria and in the holy land. Dhikrullah Hassan knows his onions. His human relations approach is also superb. Our observation of him in the field of operation particularly in Saudi Arabia shows that he is diligent, transparent and meticulous. He ensures that things work correctly by personally verifying challenging issues night and day. We have no doubt that both pilgrims and officials will enjoy him. He will also be a great asset to the Federal Government and an ambassador nulli secundus for our great country, Nigeria.
“Finally, we reiterate clearly, categorically and unequivocally that Dhikrullah Hassan is the right man for the job. He is not ‘packaged’ for public consumption. He is as natural as they come. We therefore urge Senate to give him a clean bill of health.”
