Executive Secretary of the Gombe State Muslims Pilgrims Welfare Board, Alhaji Sa’adu Hassan, has said pregnant women and the aged will not be allowed to take part in the 2025 Hajj exercise.
He stated this while speaking to journalists, while also calling on the intending pilgrims for the 2025 Hajj to hasten the deposit of their fares to enable the Board prepare in good time.
He said the fare may not exceed that of last year, hence the need for the payment at Hajj offices in various local government or directly to the Muslims Pilgrims Board at the right time to pave way for acquiring their Visa and accommodations before it becomes late.
Alhaji Sa’adu Hassan said the Board accepts Five Million Naira as deposit, adding that each state was given similar total number of qouta of intending pilgrims that was allocated last year.
