The Oyo State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board said on Friday that 995 slots have been allocated to the state by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria , for the 2019 hajj exercise.
According to him, some intending pilgrims were skeptical that the change in government in the state might affect the pilgrimage policy. “By May 20, everything needed to be done on this year’s hajj, should have been perfected based on the NAHCON time table, and I am trying to perfect it to make it easier for the incoming board.
“So pilgrims should target May 31 as the closing date for hajj registration because according to the NAHCON calendar, the first inaugural flight will take off by July 6. He said the board was currently collecting N1,247,000 for this year’s hajj fare, while the reduction or increment on the fare would depend on the directive from NAHCON and not the state.
