The session underscored the shared commitment to ensuring a safe, comfortable, and spiritually fulfilling journey for all Nigerian pilgrims.
NAHCON officials used the platform to highlight ongoing efforts to improve coordination, communication, and operational efficiency between Nigerian agencies and Saudi authorities.
