The FCT Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board will from Monday begin the refund of excess payment to pilgrims who participated in the 2022 Hajj exercise through the board.
A statement from the Director of the Board, Mallam Muhammad Nasiru Danmallam, said all those who paid above the stipulated Hajj fare would get a refund of the balance through their individual bank accounts.
Mallam Danmallam said all pilgrims who paid more than the N2,449,607.89 which was the actual Hajj fare for the year would get a refund of the excess payment.
The director directed the affected pilgrims to submit their original receipts of payment with account details to the account section of the board or to their respective area officers for processing.
According to the director, pilgrims who paid through the Hajj Saving Scheme or balanced their 2022 Hajj fare through the scheme would get refund through the accounts they opened for the exercise.
He said beneficiaries without bank account should forward a letter authorizing the board to make the payment to the third party account and attach a photocopy of the means of identity of such person.
A total of 1,584 out of the 1993 pilgrims who participated in the exercise through the board are to benefit from the refund.
