JUST IN: Tinubu Nominates Ismail Yusuf As New NAHCON Chairman Ismail Abba Yusuf
President Bola Tinubu has nominated Ambassador Ismail Abba Yusuf as the new chairman and chief executive officer of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON).
The announcement was made on Wednesday in a statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
“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.
“The appointment is subject to the Senate’s approval in accordance with the provisions of section 3(2) of the NAHCON Act, 2006,” the statement read.
Yusuf’s appointment follows the resignation of Abdullahi Usman, the immediate past NAHCON chairman, on Monday.
He served as Nigeria’s ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the Republic of Türkiye from 2021 to 2024.
In August 2024, Tinubu appointed Usman as NAHCON chairman following the sack of Jalal Arabi, who was under probe by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over alleged mismanagement of the N90 billion presidential subsidy for the 2024 hajj.
