Hajj fare set to reach ₦10m as NAHCON ends subsidy
The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) announced that the federal government will not provide a subsidy for the 2025 Hajj, meaning pilgrims will face a significant cost increase.NAHCON’s decision to end the subsidy primarily impacts the Central Bank of Nigeria’s dollar exchange rate, which previously enabled pilgrims to pay a reduced rate.
