Kano state Government has announced a subsidy of N500,000 each for intending pilgrims embarking on 2024 pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
A credible source at Kano Pilgrims Board told Peoplespen24 on Wednesday.
The announcement came as a huge relief to many pilgrims who are being inundated with the sudden N1.9 million fare increase by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria.
