The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, NAHCON has extended the deadline for registration of pilgrims to July 15 to enable the intending pilgrims to have opportunity to participate in the 2019 exercise.
Head of Media and Public Affairs of the commission, Fatima Usara in a statement in Abuja said the decision became necessary due to the demand from different quarters to extend the timeline for the registration.
She urged all intending pilgrims to conclude their payments and registration procedure before the said date.
Fatima also announced the downward review of the 2019 hajj fare. She said the review had led to a reduction of six hundred and twenty Saudi Arabian riyals which is equivalent to one hundred and sixty five dollars from what was contained in the 2019 hajj fare earlier announced by various states, Abuja and Armed forces.
