The Taraba State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board has announced December 1, 2025, as the deadline for intending pilgrims to complete payments for the 2026 Hajj exercise.

According to a statement from the Board’s Information Unit, signed on Tuesday by the Assistant Information Director, Hamza Baba Muri, the revised Hajj fare for 2026 has been fixed at N7,630,000, as approved by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON).

The Board called on all intending pilgrims wishing to perform the holy pilgrimage through its platform to ensure full payment before the deadline to secure their slots.

Speaking on the preparations, the Board’s spokesperson stressed that all payments must be made strictly through designated Centre Officers, warning that no complaints would be entertained after the stipulated date.

He noted that prompt payment would enable the Board to compile the final list of intending pilgrims and remit funds to NAHCON as required.

The spokesperson further disclosed that negotiations are ongoing with service providers in Saudi Arabia to secure quality feeding arrangements and suitable accommodation for pilgrims in Makkah during the 2026 Hajj.

Reaffirming the Board’s commitment to excellence, he assured that every effort is being made to ensure Taraba pilgrims receive the best possible services, in line with the vision of the state governor, Dr. Agbu Kefas’s administration.
