Governance and Corruption: NAHCON Board Petitions Tinubu Over Chairman
NAHCON board members have petitioned President Bola Tinubu seeking the removal of Chairman Prof. Abdullahi Saleh Usman, citing alleged financial indiscipline and contract-award concerns amid a vote of no confidence.
Additional coverage across Nigerian media and stakeholder reactions indicate that the implications of the development will be closely watched in the coming days as policy, security, and market signals evolve.
Echotitbits take: Hajj operations are politically and religiously sensitive. A swift response is likely, as any disruption to 2026 pilgrimage planning could trigger backlash and reputational damage.
