Atere stated that all intending pilgrims who had paid the deposit of N4.5 million or below, as earlier announced by the Board, are now to complete it to the sum of N4.9 million on or before Monday, 12th February, 2024, fixed as the deadline.
The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) had, on Saturday, declared that intending pilgrims from Nigeria’s Southern center are to pay N4,899,000 as final Hajj fare; those from the Northern center will pay N4,699,000 and pilgrims from Yola and Maiduguri center will pay a fee of N4,679,000 for the 2024 Hajj and given February 12 as deadline.
Atere urged anyone who still has an interest in making the spiritual journey with the Board to seize the limited opportunity by making the payment of the final fare announced before the deadline lapses, noting that intending pilgrims could make their payments through any of the designated bank accounts of the Board.
The Chairman appreciated the Executive Governor of the State, Seyi Makinde, for his unflinching support towards the Hajj Board since the first day he had been appointed as the Chairman of the Board.
