In preparation for the 2021 hajj in Kano state, the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has revealed that plans are in place for a savings scheme to commence in the state.
This was made known to Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, Emir of Kano, at his palace, by Zikrullah Hassan, the Chairman of NAHCON.
The framework of the savings scheme is to assist intending travellers to afford the fare to the holy land, and the scheme is in partnership with reputable financial institutions in the country. It is also hoped that this savings scheme would make it easier to utilise NAHCON’S passenger allocations.
“The reason the commission would very soon launch the hajj savings scheme is to encourage people, especially the poor, to save ahead of time,” he said.
