President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has nominated Amb. Ismail Abba Yusuf as the new Chairman/CEO of the National Hajj Commission (NAHCON).
CBI News reports that the appointment was made known on Wednesday by Tinubu's Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
The appointment is subject to the Senate's approval in accordance with the provisions of section 3(2) of the NAHCON Act, 2006.
President Tinubu sent a letter today to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, requesting the expeditious confirmation of Ambassador Yusuf to replace Professor Abdullahi Usman, who resigned this week, after about 14 months in the post.
Ambassador Yusuf is a seasoned Nigerian career diplomat who served as the Nigerian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Türkiye from 2021 to 2024.
