The Federal Capital Territory Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Board (FCT MPWB) has fixed N7,672,822.00, as 2027 Hajj fares for intending pilgrims who wish to perform the next year’s Hajj through the FCT.
The Director of the Board, Malam Kadiri Edah, made the disclosure yesterday, in his office, in Abuja, during a chat with reporters. He noted that the fares were in line with the recent announcement by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON).
Director Kadiri highlighted that the intending pilgrims who earlier deposited a minimum of Seven Million and Five Hundred Thousand Naira (N7,500,000), or less, with the Board, should now make their balance payments, accordingly.
He stressed that the balance payments ‘must be through a bank draft, payable to the FCT Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board, Abuja, from any Commercial Bank on or before 25th September, 2026, being the stipulated Closing Date for the registration exercise’.
In addition, Director Kadiri advised the intending pilgrims who have not yet submitted their international passports to the Board’s officials, to do so immediately, or forfeit their Hajj slots.
He further highlighted that the international passports must be valid through October 2027, accompanied by a photocopy of NIN slip, four (4) recent passport photographs and must fill a Guarantor’s form, amongst others.
Director Kadiri reaffirmed the Board’s commitment to the FCT pilgrims’ welfare through timely airliftings, befitting accommodations and quality food served.
