President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the immediate implementation of additional security measures to ensure the safety and security of Nigerian pilgrims in Saudi Arabia following a crane collapse at the Grand Mosque in Mecca.

The crane collapse occurred on Friday, September 11, 2015, during the Hajj pilgrimage, killing over 100 people and injuring many more. The incident has raised concerns about the safety and security of pilgrims, particularly those from Nigeria.

In response to the incident, President Buhari has directed the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to provide additional security personnel to escort Nigerian pilgrims to and from the Grand Mosque, as well as to ensure their safety during the pilgrimage.

The President has also ordered the Nigerian Immigration Service to intensify its surveillance and monitoring of the pilgrims to prevent any unauthorized movement or activity.

Furthermore, President Buhari has instructed the Nigerian Consulate in Saudi Arabia to work closely with the Saudi authorities to ensure that Nigerian pilgrims receive adequate medical attention and care in the event of any emergency.

The President has also directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to provide regular updates on the situation to the Nigerian public and to ensure that the country's diplomatic missions in Saudi Arabia are fully equipped to respond to any emergency situation.

The President's directive is aimed at ensuring the safety and security of Nigerian pilgrims and preventing any further incidents during the Hajj pilgrimage.
