Buhari cancels federal govt delegation to Hajj, to save $1million

President Buhari says there would be no federal government delegation for this year’s Hajj in Saudi Arabia. This is against the usual tradition of previous government where a federal government delegation will lead pilgrims to the holy land for the religious exercise.

President Buhari who said this yesterday August 10th, said the cancellation will however not stop the federal government from playing its traditional roles of providing consular, medical and security services to Nigerian pilgrims. With the decision, the government is expected to save about $1 million and N30m in local expenses.

They should cancel all allocations for pilgrimage! Be it for Christian, Muslim or Ifa worshipper! Religion is a private thing and should be separate from government..."Separation of Church and State". If you chose to go, sponsor yourself or perhaps the religious houses/bodies should take it on. We are a secular state!

All Govt sponsorship of pilgrimages should be OUTLAWED.

Thumbs up to him.

Even though I rate hajj highly in my list of 'to dos' we really need to save all the money we can. Besides we are told by imams not to go on pilgrimage when owing money or with people's money.

I agree with this, let him cancel jerusalem visit too. Nigeria is a secular state and no govt has asked to fund osun festival or any of those traditional festivals, so this is a welcome development.

This is really very appreciable. One would have thought that as a Muslim President, he would be biased. We are gradually getting to the type of democracy we have been craving for. So i think.

Where r d ppl saying he wants 2 Islamize Nigeria........*mtshew*

That's a good one...

Unknown said...

Wow! Dis is wht we r talking abt. Common on! Wht r u saying..?

Check out dis great decision on behalf of d country which shows dat we r heading someone close to development in Nigeria.

Indeed PMB is beginning to materialise his words dat he is for everybody and no body. Thumbs up and more power to his elbows.

APPLE said...

What exactly is the job of the delegations? To carry their side bitches for enjoyment. Mtcheeeew.

Unknown said...

This is really a good way of showing true leadership and moreover he is a Muslim ,so all xtains should likely forget going to jerusalem at federal govt expense 2..

Unknown said...

Ok

Angie said...

Ok... But still sceptical abt this man tho.

Unknown said...

Never understood y the govt will be paying for pples religious trip, i don't see this kind of provisions for Christians or traditionalists .. Fab development.

Government should completely hands off from things that has to do with pilgrimage. Individuals who want to go for pilgrimage should be able to sponsor themselves. Enough of politic and religion being intertwined.

State like kogi without good road,tourism lying waste and no salary are still secretly sending people from both religion on pilgrimage this year. While fgn is cutting cost they can't take example. God help us.

Finally thank God someone with sense has finally decided to show up. I have personally felt it was unnecessary. The christian pilgrimage delegation should follow suit and be scrapped.
I also feel the Federal Government should stop sponsoring christian and muslim pilgrims on their pilgrimage. If people want to go for pilgrimage and can afford it they should go. The FG should remove all these kind of unnecessary provisions and channel its resources into something more impactful and beneficial.

Agreed with you.
