This was revealed by the Chairman of the Board, Professor Sayed Tunde Malik in a statement signed and released to the Press on Wednesday.

The Chairman noted that the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) with Chief Executive Officers of State’s Pilgrims Welfare Boards on Friday 7th April, 2023 announced and approved the final 2023 Hajj Fares for each States across the Nation in which the sum of Two Million Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Thousand Naira (#2.999M) was approved for each intending pilgrim from Oyo State.

The Commission also fixed Friday 21st April for final remittance of the money paid by all intending pilgrims.

While soliciting for the continued understanding and cooperation of the intending pilgrims, Prof. Malik advised them to make use of the limited time to complete their payments to any of the Designated Bank Accounts of the Board as this will enable the Board to remit

the approved fund to the NAHCON and make necessary preparations for their travel arrangements to the Holy Land for the 2023 pilgrimage.

The Board’s Chair also urged all prospective Pilgrims who have completed their payment to immediately come and submit their International Passports at the Hajj Camp, Office of the Board, Olodo, Ibadan for the travel processing.
