“Delightedly, Nasarawa state is the first to conclude airlift of its pilgrims totaling 1,794 for the 2024 Hajj season. Oyo and Armed forces are expected to conclude conveyance of their pilgrims tonight with one leg each remaining.

“As we approach the second week of inbound flights into Saudi Arabia, states that are about to commence airlifting of their pilgrims include Kaduna, Yobe, Kano, Adamawa, Borno, and Sokoto states. Plateau state pilgrims are slated to depart today as well.

“Pilgrims are advised to be calm and to take note that the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has a policy of First-in-First-Out (FIFO) meaning return from Saudi Arabia to Nigeria will follow the same sequence of departure from Nigeria. Therefore, all pilgrims are expected to spend same estimated number of days in the Kingdom according to their time of conveyance.

“In another development, the initial challenge in the issuance of Basic Travel allowance to pilgrims has been resolved. Each pilgrim is now entitled to 500 Dollars cash as BTA as approved by NAHCON in place of a credit card.” She added.
