2024 Hajj: NAHCON increases Hajj fare amidst naira crash

The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has increased the fare for the 2024 hajj exercise amidst the recent plunge in the value of Naira against the US dollar.

The commission initially announced N4.5 million as the fare for the 2024 Hajj but the fee has now been increased to N4.6 million for northern pilgrims and N4.8 million for pilgrims from the south.

This latest adjustment was announced in a statement on Saturday by NAHCON’s Assistant Director of Public Affairs, Fatima Usara.
