2025 Kaduna pilgrims asked to deposit N8.4m, sets payment deadline

In preparation for the 2025 hajj, the Kaduna State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Agency has asked the intending pilgrims to pay a minimum deposit of N8.4 million by December 31, 2024.

The agency made this known while announcing the commencement of registration for the 2025 Hajj pilgrimage in the state.

Yunusa Mohammed Abdullahi, the agency’s Public Relations Officer, while disclosing this in a radio programme, said the
registration process is now open across all the 23 local government areas of the state.

He also emphasised the importance of strict adherence to registration guidelines by local government registration officers, adding that the agency had implemented a flexible payment plan to accommodate the unique circumstances of farmers.

“Farmers are required to pay an initial deposit of N4.5 million, with the remaining balance due after the harvest season and within the specified timeframe,” he said.
He said as the Hajj season approached, the agency urged all intending pilgrims to initiate the registration process promptly and adhere to the established guidelines.
