NAHCON emphasized that Saudi authorities have maintained strict timelines for Hajj preparations, warning that no extensions will be granted at any stage of the process.
The Commission further drew attention to a directive from the Saudi Ministry of Hajj, which stipulates that any pilgrim found performing Hajj without a valid Hajj visa will face a fine of 20,000 Saudi Riyals (about ₦8.15 million) and imprisonment.
