The Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board has directed all registered intending pilgrims for the 2027 Hajj to submit their valid international passports no later than August 7 as preparations for the pilgrimage gather momentum.

According to the board, passport collection began on August 3 to allow officials to commence documentation and other administrative procedures required for the pilgrimage.

The Director-General of the board, Abubakar Ibrahim-Matawalle, said early submission of travel documents is essential to ensure timely processing and compliance with the schedule set by the relevant authorities responsible for Hajj operations.

He urged all registered pilgrims to meet the deadline, warning that delays in submitting passports could affect the processing of their travel documents and other necessary arrangements.

The board also reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring a smooth and well-organised Hajj exercise, appealing to intending pilgrims to cooperate fully throughout the preparation process.
