KWARA SETS DEADLINE FOR 2025 HAJJ PAYMENTS, ANNOUNCES ₦8.4M FEE


The Executive Secretary of the Kwara State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board, Alhaji Abdulkadri Abdulsalam, has announced Friday 11th April, 2025 as the deadline for completing all Hajj 2025 payments for intending pilgrims from the State 

The Secretary made this declaration during a live radio interview on Sobi FM earlier today, where he addressed important matters concerning the upcoming Hajj pilgrimage.  

Alhaji Abdulsalam emphasized that the total cost for this year's Hajj exercise is ₦8,459,000 and appealed to all intending pilgrims who have made part-payments to ensure they complete their balance before the April 11th deadline, as no extensions will be granted. 

"The Board will not accept any payments after this date," he announced and urged pilgrims to submit their international passports for visa processing without delay, stressing that only valid passports with at least six months validity will be accepted for the pilgrimage. He explained that early submission is crucial to avoid last-minute complications with visa issuance.  

Regarding the conduct of pilgrims during the pilgrimage, Alhaji Abdulsalam advised all intending pilgrims to maintain exemplary behaviours throughout their journey. He reminded them that they represent not just themselves but Kwara State as a whole and as such should uphold the highest standards of morality and decorum.  

According to him, the Board will soon announce dates for the mandatory enlightenment programmes and vaccination exercises. The sessions will provide essential information about Hajj rites, travel protocols, and health requirements. The Secretary assured pilgrims that the programmes are designed to prepare them adequately for the spiritual journey.  

He disclosed that Max Air has been contracted for the 2025 pilgrimage as the official airline to transport Kwara State pilgrims. The Board is working closely with the airline to ensure comfortable and timely airlift operations.  

Alhaji Abdulsalam concluded by reassuring the public of the Board's commitment to facilitating a smooth and successful Hajj exercise for all Kwara State pilgrims. He encouraged anyone with inquiries to contact the Board's office for clarification on any aspect of the pilgrimage process.
