Salau further stressed that it was permitted for those who are willing to defer their hajj fare deposits till 2022 exercise to notify the Board of their decision so as to have them properly documented, assuring all intending pilgrims not to panic over untoward rumours as their money is secured in the hands of the State government.


He enjoined all intending pilgrims to observe COVID-19 safety guidelines and stay safe always, as the decision of the Saudi Arabia authority to cancel this year’s Hajj was borne out of the reality of second wave of the pandemic, urging the public to pray in order to make future hajj exercise a reality.
