THE Independent Hajj Reporters (IHR), an organisation that monitors and reports hajj and umrah operations, has received the first phase of the 2022 hajj performance reports from its volunteers. The IHR said it had recruited some experienced hajj administrators and experts from various fields to help collate data on the performance of states’ Muslim pilgrims’ welfare boards, private tour operators and other hajj service providers with a view to appreciating them after the 2022 hajj exercise. It also commended the team members for the comprehensive report despite the short period given and the enormity of the task. Despite the challenges of the 2022 hajj, some NAHCON committees, states pilgrims welfare boards, private tour operators and service providers muscled the obstacles and served the pilgrims diligently. After the 2019 hajj, the IHR organised a hajj excellence award that was attended by key stakeholders from Nigeria and Saudi Arabia.
