The Kaduna State Muslims Welfare Board has extended the deadline for the payment of Hajj fares for intending pilgrims from the state to June 16.
This was confirmed in a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the board, Malam Yunusa Abdulahi, on Monday.
Yunusa explained that the deadline was extended following appeals by intending pilgrims who had been unable to meet the initial deadline, which was last Friday.
“The Overseer of the Board, Imam Hussaini Sulaiman Tsoho urged intending pilgrims to make their payments as there won’t be any more extensions.
“The Overseer explained that payment would enable the process of acquiring visa to commence and the need to pay the balance of the fare to the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) on schedule,” he said.
The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria recently approved a flat rate of N1,535,505 as the Hajj fare for Kaduna State intending pilgrims for this year’s hajj in Saudi Arabia.
