The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria has set January 5, 2024 deadline for completion of registration and remittance of pilgrims intended to take part in next pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. Besides, NAHCON officially pegged N4.5 million as initial minimum deposit, therefore enjoined intending pilgrims to ensure urgent payment by state board before the deadline.
Usara explained the initial minimum deposit was jointly arrived at by NAHCON and the Forum of State Executive Secretaries of Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards, Agencies and Commissions, considering the volatility of exchange rate and other compelling factors. “The wisdom behind this minimum deposit revolved around three reasons. First, for the states and the Commission to estimate how many pilgrims would be eligible for 2024 Hajj by November 4, a time set by Saudi Arabia for the Commission to conclude preparatory meetings with service providers. This Saudi timeline is roughly three weeks from now.
“Hence, and thirdly too, the Commission would have a more realistic figure to bargain for cost of accommodation, airline fares, feeding, and others knowing the number of persons that were able to reach the N4.5m threshold by the time of preparatory meetings.” “The Commission is expected to complete payment for accommodation and holy sites contracts by February 2024 to enable commencement of Visa issuance by 3rd March 3 till April 29, 2024″, Usara emphasizedKogi guber: APC will win overwhelmingly on the strength of our structure, achievements, not on ethnic sentiment - Gov Yahaya Bello
