Hajj: Gov Yusuf announces N500,000 subsidy for kano Pilgrims

Kano Governor Abba Yusuf has granted a N500,000 payment for each state pilgrim wishing to perform the Hajj in Saudi Arabia in 2024.

Alhaji Lamin Dan-Baffa, the Director-General of the State Pilgrims Welfare Board, said this when he briefed newsmen on Wednesday in Kano.

“Considering the current economic hardship the people are facing, increase in the Hajj fare is a great challenge to many intending pilgrims , the subsidy is to alleviate their sufferings.

“Those who have already paid part-payment to the board will benefit from the subsidy as over 2,900 intending pilgrims have already paid to the board, ” he said.

Dan-Baffa urged all intending pilgrims to ensure that they paid the remaining balance before March 28 as directed by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON).
