In a move that has sparked a myriad of reactions, President Tinubu's decision to reduce the cost of the 2024 Hajj pilgrimage continues to generate discussions across Nigeria. While some, like @Henryfrankjnr and @haske___, express approval with simple "Amen" and "Amin," respectively, others, such as @tola2tees, criticize what they perceive as misplaced priorities.
Tola Olaosebikan notes the removal of subsidies on fuel and questions the government's choice to subsidize religious activities. Similarly, @ceasarokoli questions the government's involvement in religious tourism in a secular state. Voices like @sp_OJOAGBA and @lolujubril emphasize the importance of addressing more pressing issues such as the cost of fuel and essential commodities.
On the flip side, @iamkingjabulani suggests that going to Hajj may not alleviate the hardships faced upon return. The diverse reactions highlight the complexities and differing perspectives surrounding the government's decision to reduce the Hajj pilgrimage cost, with citizens questioning its relevance amidst broader economic challenges.
