The Kaduna State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Agency has set N2.5 million as an initial deposit to be paid for the 2024 Hajj.
The Executive Secretary of the agency, Dr Yusuf Arrigasiyyu, said this at a press briefing on Wednesday in Kaduna.
He said that intending pilgrims would be expected to pay up to N4.5 million by Dec. 31, for the trip to Saudi Arabia.
Arrigasiyyu however said the actual fare for the pilgrimage will be announced by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria.
He said all intending pilgrims must present themselves physically at the registration centres across the state as the agency would not register anyone by proxy.
