The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, NAHCON says the Saudi Arabian authorities has simplified visa processing for 2019 hajj season through its e-visa.
The head of Public Affairs Division of NAHCON, Fatima Usara said this in a statement in Abuja.
Usara said the introduction of the new system of processing and obtaining e-Visa does not require intending pilgrims to undergo any physical screening in Saudi embassies which was in contrast to the 2018 hajj.
She therefore cautioned intending pilgrims to safeguard their visa slips and other travel documents.
