According to Ibrahim Muhammad, the IHR National Coordinator, the team would collaborate with the Inspectorate and Evaluation Committee of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON).
The squad, according to the non-profit civil society organization, was established to make sure that all officials complete the duties listed in their schedule of duty.
The team will also make sure that service providers hired to assist Nigerian pilgrims in the areas of housing, transportation, feeding, sanitation, and tents in Muna and Arafat live up to expectation by giving Nigerian pilgrims exceptional services.
The team will be headed by the IHR National Coordinator Ibrahim Muhammad, to be assisted by the Secretary General Nuruddeen M. Abdallah, Head of Publications Sani Tukur, Jidda Abubakar, and Mustapha Hodi.

The group noted that it has over the years, observed that some officials, especially adhoc ones, abandon their duties once they get to Saudi Arabia.
“This ugly trend affects the quality of services that was expected to be offered to our dear pilgrims,” he said.
The CSO added, “Some officials even go as far as personally demanding to be served instead of serving the pilgrims, which is the primary reason they are appointed.
“Hajj officials from other countries are always in uniform for easy identification and are at the service of their pilgrims 24 hours. Most of them don’t perform hajj because they consider their primary responsibility of serving their respective pilgrims weightier than any other secondary issue.
“We are going to obtain the comprehensive lists of all states and NAHCON-appointed hajj officials and monitor their performance throughout the hajj,” the statement said.
Muhammad said the committee will particularly work with the Inspectorate department in monitoring the officials and service providers in Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Muna and Arafat.
“The committee will compile its observations in a form of a report which will be forwarded to all relevant officials for further actions and to serve as a guide towards recruitment of adhoc officials in subsequent hajj exercise,” the statement said.
