National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, NAHCON, has released the approved 2019 Licenced Tour Operators with the corresponding number of slots allocated to each. This followed a two-day hearing and verification of claims by the NAHCON committee set up for Consideration of Appeals by Appellant Companies for 2019 Hajj.
Meanwhile, the Commission said that it was yet to conclude the hajj fare for 2019 and has not authorised any state Muslim Pilgrims Board to announce any hajj fare for the forthcoming rites in Saudi Arabia.stated that the indices that determine final hajj fare were yet to be fully determined by the Commission, in collaboration with State Pilgrims’ bureaus and other stakeholders.
“However, registration of pilgrims in Nigeria had commenced in November of 2018. The registration requires a tentative deposit of N1.5m , in bank draft, with any of the certified state Muslim Pilgrims’ boards, agencies or commissions. This deposit can be done fully or by instalments and a copy of the draft should be presented to the respective state boards. Intending pilgrims are warned not to pay cash to any agent or board member as payment is strictly through the banks.
“In particular, NAHCON congratulates the Kogi State Commission for being the first to renew its licence with NAHCON in compliance with the rules and regulations of the national hajj body. Milestones like these ease the job of the nation’s hajj handlers, curtailing hiccups that may be experienced during peak period of the annual Muslim pilgrimage to the holy land.
