The Ogun State government has clarified concerns surrounding the recent rearrangement of Hajj flight schedules, stating that there is no rejection of pilgrims and no safety-related issue involved.

According to officials, the adjustment was purely administrative and aimed at improving the coordination and smooth movement of intending pilgrims to the Holy Land.

The clarification comes after some reports sparked concerns among families of pilgrims, prompting questions about possible delays or complications in the Hajj process.

State authorities explained that the changes were part of routine logistics management in collaboration with relevant aviation and pilgrimage agencies.

The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria works alongside state governments in Nigeria to coordinate airlift arrangements, ensuring that pilgrims travel safely and in an organized manner.

Officials emphasized that all registered pilgrims from Ogun State will still be airlifted as scheduled, and that the rearrangement will not affect their participation in the pilgrimage.

Hajj operations often involve complex scheduling due to the large number of pilgrims and coordination between multiple states, airlines, and international authorities.

Authorities urged the public to disregard misinformation and rely only on official communication channels for updates regarding pilgrimage arrangements.

As preparations continue, the state government reassured pilgrims of its commitment to ensuring a smooth and stress-free Hajj exercise.
