Abdullahi Saleh Pakistan is a Nigerian Islamic scholar and government official who has held the position of Chairman at the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) since October 2024. He has been instrumental in managing and overseeing the country's Hajj affairs. The nickname Pakistan stems from his foundational Islamic studies conducted in Pakistan. His educational background includes qualifications from the Islamic University of Madinah, University of Peshawar, and Usmanu Danfodiyo University in Sokoto. His selection by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu underscores his prominence within both religious circles and public administration. During his tenure, NAHCON has tackled financial issues impacting pilgrims, notably advocating for the elimination of a 2% levy imposed by the Central Bank of Nigeria on pilgrims’ funds.
