The Chairman of the Hajj Board, Ben Abdallah Banda says there will be major improvements in the operations of the Ghana Hajj Board next year to ensure better service for Ghanaian pilgrims.

Welcoming the final batch of Ghanaian Hajj pilgrims home from Mecca over the weekend, the Hajj Board Chairman admitted that, as a human institution, they did not get everything right this year and duly apologized to the pilgrims for any inconveniences they may have encountered during this year's Hajj.

"Ghana Hajj Board is a human institution and surely, we could not have had everything right," Ben Abdallah told the pilgrims.

"I want to take this opportunity to apologize to you all on behalf of the board for any inconvenience our actions or inactions may have caused you throughout this process."

The Hajj Board Chairman, however, assured the pilgrims and to some extent, Ghanaians, that things won't be the same.

"Whatever it is, the status quo is not going to remain. In shaa Allah, things will change and we will have a marked improvement in our operations."

"On behalf of Government, I want to congratulate all of you for completing the Hajj and returning home. We thank the Almighty Allah."

The Board Chairman was accompanied by Board Members Abdul Aziz Haruna Futa and Alhaji Masawudu Osman.
