Kaduna State Pilgrims Welfare Agency has appealed to Muslim clerics to assist in educating all intending pilgrims on the need to hasten the payment of Hajj deposit in order to meet the Dec. 31, 2023 deadline.
The Executive Secretary of the agency, Dr Yusuf Arrigasiyyu, made the appeal during a sensitization meeting organised for the Imams and Ulamas from the 23 Local Government Areas held on Kaduna from Monday to Tuesday.
This is contained in a statement issued by the agency’s Public Relations Officer, Malam Yunusa Abdullahi on Wednesday in Kaduna.
Abdullahi quoted Arrigasiyyu as disclosing that the December deadline has been pegged by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) as the final date for registering intending pilgrims for the 2024 Hajj.
