NAHCON Releases 2024 Hajj Fare

The National Hajj Commission (NAHCON) has released the final fare for the 2024 Hajj pilgrimage.

According to Malam Jalal Arabi, the Chairman of NAHCON, intending pilgrims from Nigeria’s Southern center will be required to pay N4,899,000 as the Hajj fare.

Meanwhile, those from the Northern center will pay N4,699,000, and individuals from Yola and Maiduguri center will pay N4,679,000.

According to the Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Fatima Sanda Usara, The Chairman of NAHCON had initially aimed to maintain the 2024 Hajj fare at N4.5 million.

“The prospects had remained high until the well-known Naira crash that occurred mid-week.

“Regrettably, the recent instability in the Dollar exchange rate compelled a necessary adjustment despite commendable efforts by NAHCON Chairman, Jalal Ahmad Arabi to maintain the cost of the year’s Hajj at the said rate,” she said.

NAHCON has assured the public of its commitment to ensuring a smooth and successful Hajj pilgrimage for all participants, despite the challenges posed by foreign exchange factors.

The Commission also expressed its appreciation for the understanding and cooperation of the Nigerian Muslim community.
