The announcement, made via the commission’s official X handle, was confirmed by NAHCON Chairman, Prof. Abdullahi Saleh Usman, who stated that the new deadline is now February 10, 2025.
This extension is aimed at providing prospective pilgrims with ample time to complete their registration and financial commitments, ensuring a seamless and well-organized pilgrimage process.
