2025 Hajj: Bauchi Pilgrims Must Get Polio Vaccine – Board
The Bauchi State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board has made it crystal clear: no polio shot, no trip to Saudi Arabia. Yep, you read that right! According to the Board’s Executive Secretary, Abdulrahman Idris, every single one of the 2,200 registered pilgrims must get vaccinated at least six weeks before departure.
Why the strict rule? This directive comes straight from the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON). It’s all about keeping everyone safe and sound throughout the holy journey. And let’s be honest: health comes first!
Idris didn’t stop there. He also spilled the tea on some key updates for this year’s Hajj. First off, registration is officially closed. So, if you haven’t secured a spot yet, you’ll have to wait till next year. Secondly, travel documents, luggage, uniforms, and other must-haves will be ready in the next two weeks. That means it’s time to gear up and prepare for the adventure ahead!
For those who haven’t submitted their forms with a white background passport photo, don’t slack! Get that done ASAP to ensure smooth visa processing. You don’t want any last-minute hiccups, trust me.
There’s hope if you haven’t completed your Hajj fare payment. You can either collect your money back or leave it with the board for next year’s pilgrimage. Not a bad option, right?
So, dear pilgrims, let’s play by the rules and make this a stress-free experience. Roll up your sleeves, get that polio shot, and make 2025’s Hajj a smooth and blessed journey!
