The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has made known that, the “Kitchens to serve Nigerian pilgrims in Madina are fully ready.”

The Madina team in charge of feeding were on inspection tour of all the contracted kitchens to ascertain their readiness to serve Nigerian pilgrims. The team focused on hygiene, quality and quality of the food as well as the facilities.
“Alhaji Abdullahi Kabir, head of Madina feeding committee led the team to the seven Kitchens contracted for the operation. Among the areas inspected are the cleanliness of the facilities and equipments as well as workforce all of which determine effective delivery.
“However, during a meeting prior to the inspection of the kitchens, the Madina Coordinator, Alhaji Abdulkadir Oloyi, raised the issue of food packaging, where he said some of the caterers use sub-standard plastic containers which is unacceptable. The meeting agreed on a particular packaging to be used uniformly by all the caterers. He also reiterated the importance of following the menu given to them by NAHCON as well as delivering the food to the pilgrims’ accommodation on time. He said there will be consequences on violators. Meanwhile the committee in charge of accommodation is working tirelessly to ensure that everything is in place before the arrival of the first batch of Nigerian pilgrims into Saudi Arabia scheduled to start on Friday 9/5/2025.”
