Hajj Commission announces N4.9m Fare for Pilgrimage
NAHCON set the 2024 Hajj fare at N4.9 million. In a statement released by the commission, it was gathered that it had established N4.5 million as the deposit, but many intending pilgrims struggled to meet this requirement.
According to Fatima Sanda Usara, Assistant Director of Public Affairs at NAHCON, pilgrims from Southern states are expected to pay N4,899,000, those from Northern states N4,699,000, and individuals from Yola and Maiduguri will pay N4,679,000 for the upcoming Hajj. The commission attributes the fare increase to the challenging foreign exchange rate, a significant issue affecting Nigeria's economy.
The commission has set a deadline of February 12th for prospective pilgrims to transfer funds to service providers, ensuring compliance before the February 29th cutoff. The Chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Malam Jalal Ahmad Arabi, had initially aimed to keep the 2024 Hajj fare at the initial deposit of N4.5 million.
