The acting Chairman of NAHCON, Malam Abdullahi Muhammad, disclosed this during the One Ummah unity and peace convention in Abuja on Saturday.
He stressed the need for global stakeholders to unite in achieving the objectives of uplifting the welfare of pilgrims.
Muhammad stated that the act of providing service to pilgrims has a dual reward as it was a service to fatherland and Allah.
He stated that the commission is empowered to educate pilgrims on the rites of Hajj and Umrah.
In this regard, he enjoined the international scholars to educate people on the rights, unity and benefits of Hajj as well as the place of Hajj in global economy.
He said that enlightenment would ensure that pilgrims were well guided in the religious act in order to maximise the value of their money and enjoy the derivable benefit of the rituals.
According to him, the management team and the staff have dedicated themselves to upgrade the service to pilgrims in the area of accommodation, transportation, feeding and airlift.
Muhammad commended the scholars for their dedication and commitment to the service of Allah through the spreading of the global message of unity to the Muslims.
