Kano received 5,684 seats, with deposits to be paid through Local Government Hajj Center Officers via bank drafts. Collection starts immediately and closes on October 5, 2025, when the final fare will be announced.
Intending pilgrims must also provide a valid passport and eight passport photographs. The Board urged early payments to ease the process.
