The Kaduna State Pilgrims Welfare Agency has called on all intending pilgrims for the 2026 Hajj to complete their payments before the deadline set by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON).
In line with NAHCON directives, the agency has set 5 December 2025 as the payment deadline, stressing the importance of meeting this timeline to guarantee a comfortable and well-organised pilgrimage experience.
The Executive Chairman of the Agency, Malam Salihu Abubakar issued the reminder in a statement signed by Ibrahim Datti, the agency’s Public Relations Officer, shortly after returning from a pre-Hajj inspection visit to Saudi Arabia.
