Abba-Danbatta said that prospective pilgrims would pay N2.9 million as Hajj fare while  attributing the increase  to rising dollar exchange rate and the  increase in tax revenue from Saudi Arabia and airlines.

He said that screening of prospective pilgrims  would  commence after April 21, when the fare would have closed across the 44 local government areas of the state. (NAN)
