The Nigerian Ambassador to the Kingdom of Jordan, H.E. Faruk Malami Yabo (MFR) has hailed the unblemished record of Nigeria’s foremost destination management firm, UfitFly in moving over 1200 pilgrims from Nigeria to Jordan within nine months without recording any case of people running away.
The consular that doubles as Nigerian Ambassador to Iraq made the commendation while receiving the delegation of Ufitfly led by its team lead, Evang. Ajibola Ogunkeyede and a Jordan based Murad Najib of Hajjat Tours in the Nigerian embassy in the Kingdom of Jordan located at 15, Sataan Al-Hassan street, Abdoun, Jabal Amman, Jordan on Tuesday.
Yabo admonishes the destination management firm to keep up the good work and also keep representing Nigeria with pride. He, however, assured the firm of his unrelenting support, especially towards the upcoming mega trip scheduled for April where almost 1500 pilgrims will be moved at once for pilgrimage exercise.
“I’m happy to associate with you and your unblemished records in moving Christian pilgrims from Nigeria. Our record shows your firm has brought more than 1200 pilgrims in the last nine months without recording any absconder, this is unprecedented.
“I want to state that only pilgrims that come with certified Tour Operators together with an approval of Nigeria Christian Pilgrimage Commission (NCPC) will be henceforth allowed to enter the Holy land. Any pilgrim that comes through an uncertified agent will be deported right from the point of entry back to Nigeria.
“And that is why I am commending Ufitfly for being a good partner in progress in that regards, our regulations and that of this country (Jordan) have zero tolerance for absconders”, said the Ambassador.
