The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) appreciates the high level of understanding and concern that has demonstrated to it publicly and privately over the 2024 Hajj fare dilemma it has plunged into.

This show of support gives the Commission hope that stakeholders would leave no stone unturned for the success of the forthcoming Hajj exercise. At this juncture, the Commission finds it imperative to give clarity regarding the 2024 Hajj fare arrangements.

A statement signed by the Assistant Director of Public Affairs Unit NAHCON, Haj. Fatima Sanda Usara stated that It is widely acknowledged that Hajj preparation follows a strict time timeline for the 2024 Hajj, the preparatory timeline released by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah began earlier than usual and is expected to end before its normal timing. NAHCON endeavours to adhere to the schedule outlined by the Ministry.

Recall that as of 31 December 2023, the Naira was still at N897:00 to a Dollar at the banks. These shifts unfortunately pushed the Hajj fare collection deadline to fall after the modernisation of foreign exchange rates, presenting a new and significant challenge.

What the harmonization meant in the Hajj fare equation was that in the face of global financial challenges, coupled with the new forex policy, Nigerian pilgrims would now be saddled with an unexpected increase in Hajj cost, despite having already paid the fixed fare of about N4.9 million, depending on the departure zone as approved by government.

Federal Government saw the dom in deliberately intervening on behalf of the Nigerian intending pilgrims through various strategies including persuading cost reductions. Unfortunately, the interventions could not cover the entire number that had met the final registration deadline. This had remained the Commission’s dilemma. To make matters worse, now about 50,000 pilgrims.. Read more on www.rotv24.com
